Singapore—Thai refiners have been mostly supplying Euro 4-equivalent gasoline to Bangchak Petroleum despite a government waiver that allowed them to redirect less stringent export grades back to the domestic market, industry sources said this week. The temporary waiver on benzene, olefins and vapor pressure parameters for gasoline was to allow refiners to divert surplus gasoline meant for exports, and which did not meet Euro 4 specifications, to the local market to cover a shortfall in supply following a fire and unplanned shutdown at Bangchak’s 120,000 b/d Bangkok refinery on July 4.
