The China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (Sinopec) launched a major
refined product piping project in southwest China last Friday.
The launching ceremony was held at an oil store in Binyang County of Guangxi
Zhuang Autonomous Region.
The 1,691-km pipe will start in Maoming City, a major oil refinery base in
south China's Guangdong Province and go through Guangxi as well as Guizhou and
Yunnan provinces to end up in Kunming, the provincial capital of Yunnan, in the
southwest.
The project, which will have an annual capacity of 10 million tons, is the
largest of its kind in the country, according to company sources. It is
scheduled to be completed by March 2005.
