China Port Group Starts Pumping Crude Oil into New 230-Mile Pipeline
(Reuters) — China's Yantai Port Group started on Monday pumping oil into a newly expanded crude oil pipeline that connects the port of Yantai to a group of independent refineries in the country's refining hub Shandong, state media reported on Tuesday.
The 370-km (229.91 mile) pipeline, with an annual transport capacity of 20 million tonnes (400,000 barrels per day), is solely invested by Yantai Port Group, a unit of provincial government-backed Shandong Port Group.
The new line, linking Yantai with city of Weifang, adds to an existing parallel 650-km pipeline connecting Yantai with Zibo, bringing total transport capacity to 40 million tonnes annually, or 800,000 bbl/d.
About ten independent refineries are linked to the two pipelines, according to Shandong-based commodities consultancy JLC.
As part of commodities logistics operations, Yantai Port also operates a 300,000-tonnage crude oil terminal and a 3.6 million cubic-meter (23 million barrels) crude oil tank farm.
Yantai is also China's largest port for fertilizer and bauxite, according to the group's website.
