China’s crude oil processing in September fell from the previous month as refiners shut for seasonal maintenance amid an economic slowdown.
Refineries processed 42.43 million metric tons of crude last month, or about 10.37 million barrels a day, according to data released Monday by the Beijing-based National Bureau of Statistics. That’s down 1 percent from August and the lowest since July on a daily basis.
