Sinolook Joins the 18th ICIS Asian Base Oils & Lubricants Conference in Singapore

Sinolook took part in the 18th ICIS Asian Base Oils and Lubricants Conference, held on 25–26 June 2026 at the Grand Hyatt in Singapore, with pre-conference training courses running from 23–24 June. As the exclusive distributor of ADNOC Group III base oil (ADbase) in China, Sinolook joined senior decision-makers from across the Asian base oils and lubricants value chain for two days of market analysis, technical discussion and high-level networking.

Our booth carried a clear message to visiting blenders, OEM suppliers and distributors: Sinolook — source of quality base stock. The event gave our team the opportunity to meet existing partners face to face and to open conversations with new buyers across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.

A pivotal year for the Asian base oils market

The ICIS Asian Base Oils and Lubricants Conference is one of the region’s premier gatherings for the sector, bringing together suppliers, refiners, traders and lubricant manufacturers from around the world. This year’s agenda focused on the issues shaping supply and demand across the value chain, including:

• New base oil capacity entering an already well-supplied market and how it is reshaping trade flows across Asia-Pacific
• Shifting demand drivers and evolving OEM requirements for higher-grade base stocks
• Supply resilience and risk management amid ongoing geopolitical and freight volatility
• The continued shift toward Group II and Group III base oils in modern lubricant formulations

These themes sit at the centre of Sinolook’s business. Since securing the exclusive ADbase distribution agreement with ADNOC in 2020, we have built a sourcing and logistics network designed to deliver consistent, high-quality Group III supply to the Chinese and wider Asian market — exactly the kind of reliability buyers were seeking at this year’s conference.

Sinolook’s value to base oil buyers

Backed by a group structure spanning Xiamen Sinolook Oil Co., Ltd, Sinolook Hongkong Limited and Sinolook Oil (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., Sinolook supports customers with a full base oil portfolio — ADNOC Group III (ADbase), Group I and Group II, naphthenic base oils and synthetics — alongside brake fluids, lubricant additives and petrochemical products.

Our storage hubs in Nantong, Yingkou and Guangdong, combined with rigorous SGS-based quality control at every stage of shipping and discharge, allow us to offer continuous, contamination-free supply to lubricant blenders and industrial buyers. Meeting customers in person in Singapore reinforced how much this dependable-supply model matters in the current market.

Looking ahead

Events like the ICIS Asian Base Oils and Lubricants Conference are an important part of how Sinolook stays close to the market and to its partners. We are grateful to everyone who visited our booth in Singapore, and we look forward to continuing these conversations — and building new partnerships — in the months ahead.
