Description


Yongpin refinery

The Yongping Refinery (永坪炼油厂) is the oldest oil processing installation in China, with origins dating to 1907, located in Yongping Town, Zichang City, Yan'an, Shaanxi Province (陕西省延安市子长市永坪镇). Operated by the Yanchang Petroleum Group Refining & Chemical Company, it operates two crude distillation trains with a combined CDU capacity of 4.6 million mt/yr and holds the distinction of being the first local enterprise in China to receive an official commercial aviation fuel production certificate (2019). Like the Yan'an Refinery, it is earmarked for decommissioning as part of the group's major new integrated project.
