BEIJING, (Reuters) – Sinopec Corp’s expanded 240,000-barrel-per-day (bpd) Fujian refinery, a joint venture with Saudi Aramco and Exxon Mobil Corp, started pumping crude into its new facility late last month, an industry source told Reuters on Thursday.
The refinery, part of a $5 billion venture that also includes a petrochemical complex, is expected to reach normal operating rates as early as July, said the source.
