China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation

China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation, commonly known as Sinopec, stands as a major integrated energy and chemical enterprise. Its extensive operations encompass the oil, gas, and chemical sectors across Mainland China, Singapore, and on a global scale. The company's diverse business is structured into five core segments: Exploration and Production, Refining, Marketing and Distribution, Chemicals, and Corporate and Other Operations.

In its upstream activities, Sinopec focuses on the exploration, development, and extraction of oil fields, leading to the production of crude oil and natural gas. Moving downstream, the company refines and processes crude oil into various petroleum products, which are then manufactured and sold.

Sinopec also manages a vast network of oil depots and service stations, facilitating the distribution and sale of refined petroleum products like gasoline and diesel through both wholesale and retail channels. Beyond hydrocarbons, Sinopec is a significant producer and vendor of petrochemicals and their derivatives.
