Sinopec Meets Escalating Oil Demand Fully Armed

China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., or Sinopec, the largest petroleum refiner in the region, announced it plans to build an oil complex in China's southern Hainan province of $1.2 billion worth, as a part of its program to speed up refinery expansion to meet surging demand.

Sinopec aims to complete the project, which includes an refinery woth the capacity of 8 million tonne-per-year, and a terminal to dock 300,000-tonne oil tankers, by the end of 2006.

Sinopec took over the project in 2003 after Beijing shelved a proposal mooted by a Hong Kong business group in the mid-1990s due to concerns of over-capacity and environmental issues.
