Kuwait's Crude Exports to Japan at Lowest in 13 Months

Kuwait's crude oil exports to Japan plunged 40.9% in July from a year earlier to 5.08 million barrels or 164,000 bpd, for the first decline in 2 months, the government said. This was the lowest volume since June 2008, when it stood at 4.83 million barrels. The figure was slightly higher than China's July imports from Kuwait, which recorded 144,000 bpd, leaving Japan the top buyer of Kuwait crude.- MENA FN, AME INFO
