Full-to-the-brim storage tanks could prompt a rise in Chinese gasoil exports.

According to price reporting and data agency SP Global Platts, China's oil entity Sinopec may increase exports to clear refinery backlogs.

Gasoil exports could reach 2 million mt in the coming months rising from 1.45 million mt in May, according to the report
