According to IRNA, for the January-September period, imports rose 33.2 percent over the same level a year ago to 570,350 bpd, the data showed.
China’s September imports from Iran rebounded from August’s 311,653 bpd, the lowest level since October 2013 as one regular buyer went into an overhaul at its petrochemical plant.
China also boosted its imports from Russia last month, with supplies recorded at 691,310 bpd, the third highest on record on a daily count and up 57 percent from a year ago.
Chinese refiners may have taken advantage of a weak market for Russia’s flagship export crude ESPO, for which premiums sank to their lowest in four years in August.
With January-September shipments up 27 percent on year, Russia ranked as China’s third-largest supplier after Saudi Arabia and Angola for the year so far.
China also took in around 34,067 bpd of crude oil from Libya, its first shipments from the OPEC nation this year after oil productions there recovered from nationwide strikes that had crippled the industry.
