Synergies among these two world-class, integrated businesses, closely coupled with the strengths of each partner and a reliable supply of crude oil from Saudi Aramco, significantly enhance the competitiveness of this project, and help ensure its world-class performance.

Fact Sheet - Fujian Refining and Ethylene Joint Venture Project and Fujian Fuels Marketing Joint Venture Project, both located in southeastern China's Fujian Province, will be the first fully integrated refining, petrochemicals and fuels marketing Sino-foreign projects ever attempted in China.
