  • The Ukraine war has profoundly altered the global energy market, with Russian invasion and Western sanctions impacting oil and gas markets, delaying climate goals, and forcing countries to re-evaluate their supply relationships.

  • EU countries have seen a decrease in Russian energy exports, while the US and Middle East have benefited from high energy prices.

  • China, the world’s largest energy importer and consumer, has yet to see the long-term effects of the Ukraine war on their energy supply.

  • The Ukraine war has had a global impact on energy markets, with Russia’s energy exports to the EU decreasing, and the US and Middle East benefiting from high energy prices, while the long-term effects on China remain to be seen.

  • War has enhanced China’s oil supply security by enabling them to buy Russian crude at a discount.

  • China’s reliance on oil and gas imports, as well as their heavy trade with Russia, leaves them exposed as the global energy market has become more politicised.

  • Over the past few years, China has imported more than 70% of its crude oil and more than 40% of its natural gas.

  • Crude oil is the single most valuable commodity in China-Russia trade, accounting for half of Chinese imports.

  • Last year, China’s Russian crude imports increased by 8% in volume, but 44% in US dollar terms due to energy prices rising from the Ukraine war.

  • China may have leverage in future negotiations over new supply contracts due to the war making them an important market for Russian hydrocarbons.

  • The war has increased the importance of China’s oil and gas imports, as well as their trade with Russia, which leaves them vulnerable to global energy market politics.

  • Kang Wu, head of Global Demand and Asia Analytics at S&P Global Commodity Insights, stated that China has not benefited from the price spikes, higher inflation, and elevated interest rates caused by the war.

  • China has to pay more for imported oil, and Russia has to offer deep discounts for every barrel of oil sold.

  • China has mitigated economic risks by importing more Russian crude at lower prices in the past year.

  • According to a report published in January by Energy Intelligence, the global energy industry has a priority of security and affordability in 2023, with the outlook still clouded by geopolitical turmoil.

  • The global re-routing of Russian oil flows from Europe to new markets is likely to consolidate, and China could step up.

  • Re-routing Russian gas flows will be harder and time consuming, requiring new infrastructure and Asian, especially Chinese, appetite.

  • The global energy crisis is likely to deepen ties further between China and Russia, according to the report.

  • China views land-based energy deliveries as more secure

  • China might not want to commit to an additional gas pipeline from Russia

  • This opinion shared by Elizabeth Wishnick, senior research scientist at CNA, a US-based non-profit research and analysis organization

  • China and Russia have been in talks regarding a new pipeline for energy products, however Chinese President Xi Jinping has not yet approved it.

  • Russia is hoping to secure a deal during an expected visit by Xi to Moscow.

  • China is wary of the unpredictable leadership in Russia and the potential for long-term instability.

  • China has increased imports from Russia in the past year, however imports from other major suppliers have remained stable.

  • New long-term oil and gas contracts have been signed with countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United States, which will lead to increased supplies from these sources.

  • Russia needs to increase Chinese purchases of Russian natural gas, not the other way around.

  • China’s energy imports might come under greater scrutiny in the future, however no major politically driven changes are expected in the short term due to technical and logistical issues.

  • Switching to a different crude requires adjustment in the refining processes, and can incur issues in profit margins.

  • Companies must also factor in contractual commitments and transport costs when importing.
