CNOOC's Daxie complex exemplifies China's strategic shift toward integrated refining-petrochemical operations. From a specialty asphalt producer in 2003 to China's largest heavy oil-to-olefins facility today, the site now processes 12 Mt/y crude, including the largest ever RTC/DCC-Pro catalytic cracking unit.

The comprehensive ppPLUS profile covers the complete transformation: four development phases, world-scale 3.2 Mt/y catalytic cracking (DCC-Pro), 1.2 Mt/y polypropylene capacity (including two new Sinopec ST-III units), and 1.6 Mt/y aromatics complex. This facility represents the future of Chinese refining—integrated, technology-advanced, and chemicals-focused.
