Privately owned Chinese refiner Zhejiang Petroleum & Chemical Co (ZPC) signed a purchase deal with Saudi Arabian state oil producer Saudi Aramco for 1.08 million tonnes (7.88 million barrels) of crude oil, Reuters reported on Monday, citing government-backed Chinese newspaper Zhoushan Daily. Aramco shares were up 0.3%.

Saudi oilfield services firm Arabian Drilling Co surged more 23% to 123 riyals in its market debut.
