China's oil products production rise in 2016.
2016 refined oil products production growth (1.1%) was in line with its long-term trend (1%)
2016 growth was driven by the Asian and the Middle East countries, in particular China, Saudi Arabia and the UAE that have commissioned several new refineries in recent years.
Petroleum products production dipped in Mexico and Venezuela resulting from low refined oil products demand in 2016.
Refinery closures over the past years in Europe combined with the willingness of Middle East countries to refine crude oil locally and low refining costs in the North America led to a stable production of refined oil in Europe despite the rise in the consumption.

Kazakhstan will supply uranium to new Chinese nuclear plants starting from 2019
Kazakhstan's Ministry of Energy announced that it will begin to supply uranium to five Chinese nuclear plants starting from 2019 onwards. The facilities are currently under construction and will be supplied with uranium fuel from Kazakhstan. The country is a key uranium producer, with around 40% of the worldwide production and 12% of the uranium reserves, ahead of Canada and Australia. The state-run company KazAtomProm has reduced the level of its uranium production by 10% for 2017 due to a 47% drop in world uranium prices at the beginning of the year.
