What's the price per ton of liquefied petroleum?
Yesterday, the reporter learned from Sinopec that since June 1 day, Sinopec has uniformly raised the sales prices of liquefied petroleum gas, petroleum coke and heavy oil by more than 100 yuan/ton. According to the notice issued by Sinopec, in June, the average price increase of liquefied petroleum gas in enterprises was not less than 200 yuan/ton, especially in Guangzhou Branch of South China, which should be close to the price of imported gas. Petroleum coke is raised 100 yuan/ton, and heavy oil and sulfur have also set upward targets. Sinopec said that the reason for the price adjustment was that the international oil price was still at a high level and showed an upward trend, which aggravated the losses of domestic enterprises. Therefore, it is decided to uniformly raise the sales prices of some products from June 1 day, and enterprises are required to take corresponding marketing measures according to their own conditions to ensure that the price adjustment targets are put in place. In this regard, Huang Qing, an information analyst in Mao Yi, a major domestic oil information agency, said that under the circumstances that the prices of state-controlled products such as refined oil and natural gas could not rise, Sinopec, which suffered more and more from refining, could only improve the "small products" with market prices. Liquefied petroleum gas is the canned gas we usually see, which is widely used by citizens such as small restaurants, small cities and suburbs. Residential fuel and transportation energy account for 85% of LPG sales. In fact, although the price of liquefied petroleum gas is basically market-oriented, at the beginning of this year, due to the continuous increase in the price of liquefied petroleum gas, some places have asked enterprises to apply for price adjustment. In this regard, Huang Qing said that in April and May, the average selling price of Sinopec's liquefied petroleum gas has increased by 400 yuan/ton, but at present, the imported liquefied petroleum gas is generally 8,000 yuan/ton, which is still about 1000 yuan higher than domestic products. However, although Sinopec requires all regions to raise prices, whether it can really raise prices still needs market test, because with the rising price of liquefied petroleum gas, users of liquefied petroleum gas begin to use more electricity and coal.
