    U.S. Base Oil Output Jumps

    U.S. base oil refiners worked in high gear during the first half of 2018, producing nearly 34 million barrels of base stocks – the highest total in at least a quarter century, according to data released Friday by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Observers said that output is helping to saturate the market.

    The EIA data also shows that U.S. base oil imports and exports both continue to rise. The nation exported 21.9 million barrels of base stocks from January through June, a 22 percent increase from the same period of 2017. Imports jumped 8 percent to 8.2 million barrels.

    The production total for the first half included 29 million barrels of paraffinic base stocks and 4.99 million barrels of naphthenics. The combined volume represented a 10 percent increase from the same period of 2017, when refiners produced 25.8 million barrels of paraffinics and 4.95 barrels of pale oils for a total of 30.8 million barrels.
