China's 382 Million Tons of Oil-Consuming Countries Experts Remind Petrochemical Industry to Accelerate Three Adjustments

The latest forecast of the State Council Development Research Center shows that China’s oil consumption this year will reach 328 million tons. Our country has already entered the ranks of the world's major oil-consuming countries. Yuan Qingzhuo, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and chief engineer of China Petrochemical Corporation, pointed out that the reality of the shortage of resources, unreasonable industrial structure, high production and distribution costs, and low profitability seriously affect the development of China's petrochemical industry. Only by accelerating the pace of adjustment can we really improve our competitiveness.
It is understood that the world’s current oil consumption is about 4 billion tons, and the six countries with large oil consumption are the United States, Japan, China, Germany, Russia, and South Korea. Their consumption accounts for half of the global total. Academician Yuan Qinglu pointed out that by 2020 China's refined oil demand will be 2.3 times that of 2000, and the demand for three major synthetic materials will be 3.2 times that of 2000. In recent years, the average annual growth of domestic oil production is only about 0.9%, which is far lower than the growth rate of demand for refined oil and petrochemical products; the deep processing capacity of the refining and chemical industry is insufficient; the production capacity of high-octane components is low; and hydrocracking Due to insufficient hydrotreating and hydrofining capabilities, the output of chemical light oil could not meet future development needs. In 2002, the average net cash profit of the 18 major refinery companies in China was 0.92 yuan/UEDC (using equivalent distillation capacity), which was lower than the average level in the Asia-Pacific region, while the ethylene cash operating cost of major petrochemical enterprises in the country was about US$150/ton. , 10% higher than the average level in the Asia-Pacific region.
Academician Yuan Qinglu pointed out the specific adjustments. First of all, according to China's future crude oil resource composition and oil product demand conditions, it will adjust its oil refining layout, form a development pattern coordinated with the regional economy, follow the principle of being close to the consumer market, and fully consider the adequacy and convenience of resource supply, and try to establish a There are refineries in the transformation and expansion. Through the above measures, we will strive to form a refinery industrial zone in the Bohai Bay, Hangzhou Bay and the Pearl River Delta region by 2020, and form a basic pattern of coordinated development and support with the regional economy. Second, adjust the structure of the device and product structure, for example, increase the capacity of deep-processing equipment, optimize the deep processing scheme and technology, increase the light oil yield, maintain a reasonable ratio of diesel to steam, and the ratio of high-grade gasoline and vehicle diesel in the product, etc. . Third, vigorously develop alternative fuels and natural gas chemical vehicles for vehicles, and adapt to changes in resources and market demand.
