[Ocean Chemical News Sharing] Zhanjiang Refining and Chemical's 300,000-ton crude oil terminal begins unloading oil
Thread Content
China News Service, Zhanjiang, May 8 (Liang Sheng Li Hai) On the 8th, the VLCC tanker "Kaiming" from the Middle East safely berthed at the 300,000-ton crude oil terminal of the Zhongke Refining and Chemical Port and successfully unloaded it, marking the full completion and commissioning of the Zhongke Refining and Chemical Port. The Zhongke Refining and Chemical Project located on Donghai Island, Zhanjiang, Guangdong is the largest integrated refining and chemical project under construction by Sinopec and is also a key construction project of Guangdong Province’s “13th Five-Year Plan”. The total investment in the first phase of the project is more than 40 billion yuan (RMB, the same below), and the construction of 10 million tons/year oil refining, 800,000 tons/year ethylene projects and related auxiliary supporting projects. The project is expected to be completed and put into operation by the end of July this year, with an annual output value of more than 60 billion yuan, driving the development of the downstream refining and chemical industry chain and injecting new impetus into the economic construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
It is understood that the straight-line distance between the Zhongke Refining and Chemical Port terminal and the refining and chemical equipment is only 1,100 meters. It is currently the petrochemical port with the largest one-time construction scale, the most superior conditions, the most structural forms and the most functional uses in China, with a total of 8 berths. After the Zhongke Refining and Chemical Port is completed and put into operation, it will form a world-leading production model of "front port and back factory" in the petrochemical industry. Among them, the heavy-duty terminal berth was first completed and put into use in September 2018, providing strong logistics support for the timely arrival of construction materials for the Zhongke Refining and Chemical Project and saving construction costs. The refined oil pipeline and 100,000-ton refined oil terminal berth built during the same period of the project provide convenience for its refined oil and chemical products to reach China's core market and directly export to the international market.

Zhongke Refining and Chemical is actively preparing for trial operation. A good window to catch the low crude oil prices.
This oil was shipped at least two months ago, and the price was still different at that time.
The 300,000-ton crude oil terminal and the 100,000-ton refined oil terminal are currently the petrochemical ports with the largest scale, the most superior conditions, the most structural forms and the most functional uses in China. This is the biggest feature!
It turns out that the Lianyungang project was also promoted in this way. Why does it need such a large terminal? ? Is there a second phase? ?
I have been to Donghai Island (it is another design project). The water is deep, close to the main channel, and the dock conditions are particularly good. In addition, the project also includes an oil product pipeline.
Sinopec built the Southwest Refined Oil Pipeline from Maoming to Guiyang a few years ago.
In the past, refined oil products were used to meet domestic demand, but in the future they will expand to overseas markets along with the “Belt and Road” initiative.
It seems that transportation conditions are changing. It turns out that transporting crude oil is the most cost-effective, otherwise many refineries would have been built in the Middle East.
