In the context of a rapidly evolving global energy landscape and increasingly sophisticated crude requirements from regional refineries, China Zhenhua Oil Trading (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (“Zhenhua Singapore”) has successfully expanded its high-end market footprint by delivering Das crude oil to Cosmo Oil Co., Ltd., Japan’s third-largest refinery operator. This marks Zhenhua Oil’s first-ever successful supply into the COSMO refinery system, representing a significant breakthrough in the company’s efforts to deepen its presence in Japan’s downstream market.
This milestone was achieved through close collaboration between Zhenhua Singapore and Trading Department I in headquarter. From initial client engagement and customized solution design to resource coordination and final execution, the teams worked seamlessly to ensure precise delivery. Leveraging ADNOC’s long-term contracted resources, Zhenhua’s DAS crude has now officially entered COSMO’s refining system for the first time. The successful delivery not only fills a longstanding customer gap within COSMO’s terminal network but also enhances the refinery’s crude sourcing flexibility. More importantly, it establishes a solid foundation for long-term supply continuity and deeper strategic cooperation, supporting Zhenhua’s transformation from a traditional “resource trader” to an integrated “value provider.”
Going forward, Zhenhua Singapore will remain committed to its “terminal-focused, market-deepening” strategy. The company will continue to align closely with the evolving needs of key regional refineries, coordination across business units at headquarters, and accelerate the development of a full-value-chain capability covering procurement, sales, delivery, and customer services.
