Due to the volatile international situation, refineries across the country as well as large state-owned petrochemical enterprises are currently in a downturn. **With regulatory measures in place, the question now is: should they pursue transformation, expand their capacity, or close down? Next, let’s talk about how you currently solve this issue 1. Talk about how your company is addressing and dealing with the current crisis it is facing 2. How do you plan to address this situation, and what are your next steps? 3. Given the current situation, should we transform and expand our capabilities, or close down?

The risk of capacity expansion is even greater, as there is already an overcapacity situation. Factories with well-developed production systems can also have selective control mechanisms for starting and stopping operations. For those with simpler production systems, the current situation is even more difficult; many small factories here have ceased operations and are waiting for orders. The only solution is to adjust the production plans for various products according to market conditions; devices that need not be operated should not be used. All units in our plant are currently in operation; there has been no downtime since last year, and the maintenance periods have been delayed by nearly 3 months.

1. Talk about how your company is addressing and dealing with the current crisis it is facing Safety first, efficiency prioritized, and environmental standards met. 2. How do you plan to address this situation, and what are your next steps? The stable operation of the equipment is the top priority, in order to increase the output rate of high-value-added oils and thereby generate additional revenue. 3. Given the current situation, should we transform and expand our capabilities, or close down? There’s basically no point in thinking about expanding capacity; a more meticulous approach is what’s needed!

1. Talk about how your company is addressing and dealing with the current crisis it is facing Reduce production volume and output, cut costs while improving efficiency, and ensure safety and environmental protection. 2. How do you plan to address this situation, and what are your next steps? Faced with this situation, to use existing facilities to produce products that meet market demands, the next step or long-term plan is to expand our customer base. 3. Given the current circumstances, should we pursue transformation and capacity expansion, or close down? There are cases of both capacity expansion and transformation; for example, our factory is going through a transformation, while there are also refineries that are expanding their capacity, such as the second phase of Hui Refinery, which is currently under construction

Maximize production capacity, strive to achieve full output, reduce the energy consumption per unit of product, and find every possible way to cut costs. 3. Given the current situation, should we transform and expand our capabilities, or close down? Transform to produce high-value-added products, extend the industrial chain, and enhance the ability to withstand market risks.
