The address of "Dananhai Petrochemical Industrial Park, Huilai County, Guangdong"

With the Jieyang (Huilai) 20 million tons/year oil refining project settled in eastern Guangdong, the three major oil giants, PetroChina, CNOOC, and Sinopec, have all entered Guangdong, and the pattern of the coastal petrochemical industry belt in our province has been further optimized. , and also created a powerful engine for the leap-forward economic and social development of eastern Guangdong.

The reporter learned from the signing ceremony of the strategic cooperation agreement between the Guangdong Provincial Government and China National Petroleum Corporation held in Beijing yesterday that Guangdong will support PetroChina in building a 20 million tons/year oil refining project in Jieyang City (Huilai) and plans to invest 55 billion yuan, and strive to start construction in 2010.

The three major oil giants have joined forces with PetroChina to fill the gap on the southeastern coast

“The three major oil giants have all set up base companies in Guangdong, so the oil supply channels are more diversified, which is important for ensuring the energy security of Guangdong. It’s very beneficial,” Li Miaojuan, director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, said in an interview with this newspaper.

Jieyang (Huilai) Dananhai International Petrochemical Comprehensive Industrial Park is the location of PetroChina’s refining project. Zhao Xihao, director of the management committee of the industrial park, told reporters that in addition to the first-phase refining project with a scale of 20 million tons per year, the second-phase project will also add a capacity of 20 million tons per year and a million-ton ethylene project.

In fact, before PetroChina, the other two domestic petrochemical giants, Sinopec and CNOOC, had completed their layout in South China.

At present, CNOOC has built the Huizhou project with a refining capacity of 12 million tons in our province, with an investment of nearly 20 billion yuan, and will be put into operation at the end of March. Preparations have begun for the second phase of expansion, and the refining capacity will be expanded to 22 million tons/year. During the "Two Sessions", Fu Chengyu, general manager and party secretary of CNOOC, said during a discussion with Guangdong Provincial Party Committee Secretary Wang Yang and Governor Huang Huahua that CNOOC's current investment in Guangdong has exceeded 120 billion yuan and will exceed 300 billion yuan in the next five years. Tax payments are expected More than 80 billion yuan. In the near future, CNOOC will actively participate in the implementation of the "Pearl River Delta Reform and Development Plan", accelerate the construction of Huizhou refining and chemical integration and other projects, and create a large-scale petrochemical industry base.

Sinopec has Maoming Petrochemical Company in Guangdong with a refining capacity of over 10 million tons, which will be expanded to 25.5 million tons in the next step. The Maoming refining expansion project has been included in the just-announced "Guangdong New Top Ten Projects" and is to be completed in 2011 After the completion of the year, the annual new output value will be at least over 50 billion yuan and the tax revenue will be more than 10 billion yuan.

Industry experts pointed out that the southeast coastal area, especially the Pearl River Delta region, has a developed market economy and has a very large demand for crude oil. PetroChina does not have a large-scale refinery here, and the cost of transporting oil from the north is too high. "After the Jieyang project is completed, it will fill the gap in PetroChina's refining capacity in the southeastern coastal areas."

The rational layout of the east and west wings will eradicate the stubborn problem of "oil shortage"

Li Miaojuan pointed out that with the increase in Jieyang ( With the settlement of Huilai) 20 million tons/year oil refining project, the layout of the coastal petrochemical industry in our province, including Maoming, Zhanjiang, Huizhou, Jieyang and other places, has been basically finalized.

In the "Outline of the Reform and Development Plan for the Pearl River Delta Region", the petrochemical industry is listed as one of the advanced manufacturing industries that will be focused on and accelerated. The "Outline" proposes that by 2020, the Pearl River Delta region will "intensively develop the petrochemical industry, focusing on coastal areas with good deep-water port conditions and relatively large environmental carrying capacity, relying on existing enterprises with better conditions, and high-standard construction2" - Three 10-million-ton oil refining and million-ton ethylene refining and chemical integration projects, striving to form a world-leading large-scale petrochemical industry base."

“With PetroChina’s 20-million-ton refining project in Jieyang, the layout of Guangdong’s coastal petrochemical industry belt has been basically completed. In terms of layout, our province’s refining bases are currently concentrated in Zhanjiang and Maoming in western Guangdong, and the China-Kuwait joint venture The construction of integrated refining and chemical industry is also progressing. Now there is this large oil refining project in eastern Guangdong, which has changed the lack of major industrial leading projects in eastern Guangdong. The east and west wings are relatively balanced, which is conducive to promoting coordinated regional development," Li Miaojuan said.

Li Miaojuan told reporters that the annual consumption of refined oil products such as gasoline, diesel, and kerosene in our province is 23 million tons. As of the end of last year, the production capacity of Guangdong's refining companies was 32 million tons, but a considerable part of it Products need to be sold to the southwest, and more than 60% of them still need to be transported from the north to the south or imported. Once transportation is blocked, "oil shortage" may occur.

She said that the consumption of refined oil in our province is mainly in the Pearl River Delta, and the production bases are located on the east and west wings. In addition to meeting the needs of the province, western Guangdong can partially supply the southwest, and further development of eastern Guangdong can also be exported through seaports. .

"After the project in Jieyang is put into operation, the construction period will be about 3 to 4 years. The combined production capacity of the east and west wings can basically meet the supply of refined oil products in Guangdong, and can play a role in ensuring the safety of the refined oil industry in Guangdong." Li Miaojuan said.

Major projects drive the take-off of eastern Guangdong and smart entrepreneurs spot business opportunities

“It has always been a pity that there have never been major projects in eastern Guangdong. Now we can finally make up for it this time, which is good for eastern Guangdong. It is definitely a good opportunity." Li Miaojuan said that after PetroChina's large-scale project is put into operation, the tax revenue will reach about 10 billion yuan, which will be of great significance in driving the economic development of eastern Guangdong.

Why is the PetroChina project located in Huilai this time?

Jieyang Municipal Party Committee Secretary Chen Hongping said in an interview with this newspaper that the coastline owned by Huilai County, along the coastline A dedicated terminal for crude oil with a capacity of 300,000 tons can be built as the base extends to the ocean. The Shenzhen-Shantou Expressway and the Xiamen-Shenzhen Railway, which is under construction, pass through the entire territory, forming a transportation network extending in all directions, and the location advantage is very prominent.

“The refinery site of the Nanhai Petrochemical Industrial Park is adjacent to the South China Sea. The landform is mainly sparse forest and sandy land. The geology is solid, it does not occupy fertile farmland, and there are only a few immigrants and demolitions. It is an ideal place for building an oil refining project.” Chen Hongping said that this project is a major measure to implement the regional collaborative development strategy. It will solve the "bottleneck" problem of energy supply in Guangdong Province, optimize the energy structure, and promote the leap-forward development of the economy and society of Huilai, Jieyang and even eastern Guangdong. Of great significance.

“It can be said that the day when PetroChina’s refining and chemical project in Jieyang starts construction is when Jieyang’s economy takes off.” Chen Hongping said excitedly.

It’s not just the local government that’s excited.

Li Linkai, vice chairman of Guangdong Rongtai Industrial Co., Ltd., is a deputy to the National People's Congress from Jieyang. He said: "The signing of this PetroChina refinery contract is a great event for the people of Jieyang! The driving effect on the downstream industry is also very obvious."

Li Linkai said that Guangdong Rongtai, as the only chemical industry company in eastern Guangdong, Listed companies must seize this opportunity and be prepared to play a greater role in the downstream petroleum industry. "No matter what, the formation of a leading industry will be a great boost to related industries. We must seize this development opportunity.
