SEOUL, Feb 1 (Reuters) - South Korea's S-Oil said on Wednesday it sees regional refining margins maintaining an elevated level in 2023 over pre-2022 levels amid ongoing refinery shortages, despite demand growth woes.

The refiner, whose largest shareholder is Saudi Aramco , said it anticipates the European Union's import ban on Russian refining products, China's domestic demand recovery after reopening and global jet fuel demand to additionally support refining margins throughout 2023.
