CNPC to expand Liaoyang project
Adjust font size:

China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC), the country's largest oil and gas producer, yesterday said it had started expansion of its Liaoyang refinery in northeastern China to prepare for more oil imports from Russia.

The company will add some facilities to the project, including hydrocracking unit, hydrorefining unit, and sulphur removing and recovering unit. It will also add other facilities, including reserve tanks, CNPC said on its web site yesterday.

After completion at the end of 2010, the Liaoyang project will be able to process 10 million tons of crude every year, with feedstock coming from Russia, said the company.

An oil pipeline linking Russia's far east to China's northeast is set to start operation by the end of 2010, Zhou Jiping, vice-general manager of CNPC earlier said in Beijing.

The pipeline will transport 15 million tons of crude oil annually from Russia to China from 2011 to 2030.

China and Russia signed several energy cooperation agreements in February, which included the pipeline construction project, a long-term crude oil trading deal and a financing plan between the two countries.
