According to media sources, PetroChina, Asia’s largest oil and gas producer, began the construction of a new refining and petrochemical complex in Guangdong, China.
The complex will have a 400,000 barrels/day refining capacity and also produce 2.6 million tons/year of aromatics and 1.2 million tons/year of ethylene. The CNY65.4 billion ($9.5 billion) project would also be PetroChina’s largest investment in the refining and petrochemicals sector.
The company is expected to carry out a test run at the refining portion of the project in October 2021, while the chemical units are planned to undergo a test run in December 2021.
