The Xizhong Island Integrated Refining and Petrochemical Project is a domestic large-scale refining and petrochemical enterprise relocation and reconstruction case, with a total investment of approximately 68.5 billion yuan and planned construction commencement in 2026.
The project plans to build a new 10 mt/a refining unit and a 1.2 mt/a ethylene unit, together with supporting storage and transportation, public works and auxiliary facilities.
In terms of downstream product layout, it is planned to construct 1 set of 400kt/a PP unit, 2 sets of 450kt/a FDPE units, 1 set of 300kt/a LDPE unit, 1 set of 200kt/a POE unit and 1 set of 300kt/a CHPPO unit. The overall product structure focuses on olefins and high-end polyolefins.
In terms of feedstock structure, the project is designed with a ratio of 70% Russian crude oil + 30% Saudi heavy oil, and is capable of processing 100% Russian crude oil. In the early stage, all crude oil processed will be Russian crude oil, which will be delivered to the plant via pipeline.
