Huizhou Daya Bay Petrochemical Industrial Park

惠州大亚湾石化园区

Know what the park makes, who runs the lines, and how the cargo gets to the port.

Huizhou Daya Bay is the dominant integrated petrochemical park in Guangdong and the southeast-coast equivalent of Quanzhou (HS / Fujian). The CNOOC-Shell Petrochemical Company (CSPC, 50:50 joint venture) anchors the park with its 1.2 Mt/yr ethylene-cracker complex and downstream polyethylene, polypropylene, monoethylene-glycol (MEG, HS 290531), propylene-oxide (HS 291020), and ethylene-dichloride chains; the CSPC announcement in 2002 was the largest single foreign-investment chemical project in China at the time. CNOOC Huizhou Refinery (22 Mt/yr crude capacity) supplies the upstream petrochemical-feedstock streams and produces fuels, aromatics, and base oils for the integrated complex. The geographic advantage of the park is access to the Pearl River Delta export markets (Hong Kong / Macau / Guangdong consumer-electronics and packaging supply chains) plus deep-water port capability for 300,000 DWT VLCC crude imports and outbound chemical-tanker parcels to Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Americas. The Greater Bay Area Free Trade Zone treatment and ASEAN-China FTA preferential rates make Huizhou Daya Bay structurally competitive versus Sinopec / CNPC northern Chinese supply origins for southern-bound exports. Watch the Daya Bay nuclear power station policy: the petrochemical park is downwind of the nuclear plant, and the post-Fukushima safety-zone widening has affected park boundary planning.
