S.Korea's S-Oil expects healthy refining margins in Q2

SEOUL,  (Reuters) - S-Oil Corp, South Korea's third-biggest oil refiner said that strong demand growth in the region would support refining margins in the second quarter of this year.

"Refining margins will be held up at a healthy level given 0.6-0.8 million barrels per day of strong year-on-year demand growth in the region and spring maintenance," the refiner said in an earnings statement.

"In the longer term, market fundamentals will be continuously supportive given that capacity additions are lagging behind demand growth," it added.
