(Guanlan, Taiwan Strait) Cross-strait cooperation accelerates the rise of Fujian Gulei petrochemical base

  China News Service, Zhangzhou, August 21 (Reporter Zhang Jinchuan) With the largest petrochemical industry project of cross-strait joint venture cooperation-the first phase of the Gulei Refining and Chemical Integration Project has recently been completed and put into operation, it is located in the Gulei Peninsula, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province. The rapid rise of Lei Petrochemical base.

  In 2016, Fujian Refining and Chemical Co., Ltd. and Taiwan-funded enterprise Xuteng Investment Co., Ltd. registered a joint venture, Fujian Gulei Petrochemical Co., Ltd., and invested in the Gulei Refining and Chemical Integration Project in Zhangzhou Gulei Development Zone.

The first phase of the project has an investment of 27.8 billion yuan (RMB, the same below), which is the largest petrochemical industry project in the cross-strait joint venture and cooperation.

  The relevant person in charge of the Gulei Development Zone Management Committee said in an interview with a reporter from China News Agency on the 21st that after the Gulei refining and chemical integration project is fully put into operation, it will promote the integrated development of the petrochemical industry on both sides of the strait and provide high-quality raw materials for the middle and downstream deep processing industry clusters. Promote the coordinated development of related industrial chains and become an important growth pole for the high-quality development of the local economy.

  The Gulei Development Zone is adjacent to the international golden channel of the Taiwan Strait and has one of the few natural deep-water sheltered ports in the mainland that can be used to build 300,000-ton wharves. It is already one of the seven major petrochemical industrial bases in the mainland, the only Taiwan petrochemical industrial park in the mainland and Fujian The key construction area of ​​the provincial petrochemical industry "two bases and one special zone".

  In recent years, the Gulei Development Zone has actively and effectively used foreign capital, undertook the transfer of Taiwan’s petrochemical industry, accelerated the agglomeration and upstream and downstream expansion of the petrochemical industry, and gradually established a complete cross-strait petrochemical industry cooperation system.

Some Taiwanese businessmen believe that Taiwan’s mid- and downstream petrochemical industry is facing difficulties such as shortage of raw materials, scarce land for plant construction, and even water and electricity shortages. Cross-strait cooperation has brought important opportunities for Taiwan’s petrochemical industry.

  The Gulei Petrochemical Base has now entered a new stage of accelerated implementation of major projects, accelerated agglomeration of important industries, and accelerated emergence of industrial benefits.

At the Fujian International Investment Promotion Conference held in July this year, two joint venture projects between Fujian Petrochemical Group and the world's top 500 companies Linde Gas Company and Royal Dutch Vopak were signed on-site.

These two projects provide supporting services for other chemical projects of the Gulei Petrochemical Base and will further enhance the international operation level of the Gulei Petrochemical Base.

  At the Fujian Private Enterprise Development Conference held in June this year, the Gulei Development Zone Management Committee, the world chemical fiber giant Tongkun Group, and Fujian Petrochemical Group's subsidiary Fuhua Gulei Petrochemical Company signed an agreement with an annual output of 2 million tons. , The polyester fiber project with a total investment of 15 billion yuan settled in Gulei, adding momentum to the development of Gulei petrochemical base.

  At the same time, Fuhai Chuang Petrochemical Co., Ltd., which integrates the petrochemical upstream and downstream industries, continues to stabilize its production, and its production capacity ranks among the top in the mainland.

As a major foreign-funded project, the raw material plan of the Zhongsha Gulei ethylene project was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission, and strive to complete the approval and start construction within this year.

A number of projects under construction, such as Xinyang Technology and Gulei Chemical, are accelerating and will be put into production in the second half of the year.

  The Taiwan-funded Chimei Chemical Project has launched four rounds of capital increase and production expansion, and is accelerating the construction of an engineering plastics industrial chain.

The project will be settled in Gulei in 2020, and it will be signed and started in the same year.

Su Yaozong, general manager of Zhangzhou Chimei Chemical Co., Ltd., said that he thanked the Gulei Development Zone for being able to think about what the company thinks and what the company wants, and help the company solve problems in a timely manner.

  According to statistics from the Management Committee of Gulei Development Zone, currently, Gulei has invested in 17 petrochemical industry projects with a total investment of over 75 billion yuan; there are also 10 signed projects with a total investment of 88 billion yuan, and 8 projects are under discussion. The total investment is 141 billion yuan.

A "big petrochemical" industrial chain with world competitiveness has gradually emerged.

  At present, the Gulei Development Zone is focusing on the world's top 500, industry giants, and Taiwan’s leading petrochemical companies through the “leading drive, business introduction, and Fujian-Taiwan cooperation” models to accurately attract investment; focus on the second phase of the Gulei refining and chemical integration , Zhongsha Ethylene, Tongkun polyester fiber and other major projects to cultivate and strengthen the petrochemical middle and downstream deep processing industry.

  Looking forward to the future development of the Gulei Development Zone, Zhang Guowang, secretary of the Zhangzhou Municipal Party Committee, said that it is necessary to accelerate the implementation of a number of leading projects, promote the cluster linkage of the petrochemical industry and the development of the entire industry chain, and strive to build a world-class green and ecological petrochemical base.
