Sunday Tequila & Hormuz Limbos

Replay, June Goh Singapore Oil Refining Expert on Happy Hour just now

Really interesting stuff. One hour. China humanitarian exporting oil products to Vietnam and Cambodia is interesting. No Singapore emergency stocks of crude to start crisis was also interesting. 60% utilisation of refining, Singapore around 1.3mb/d capacity is also lower than I thought.
