UnclaimedFushun Petrochemical Company is PetroChina's refining and petrochemical division in Fushun, Liaoning Province, producing fuels, petrochemical materials, processing catalysts, and refined noble-metal products.
Last updated October 12, 2026
Overview
Fushun Petrochemical Company is a refining and petrochemical division of PetroChina based in Fushun, Liaoning Province, in northeastern China. The company forms part of PetroChina's industrial refining and materials network rather than operating primarily as a consumer-facing brand. Its activities include petroleum refining, the manufacture of petrochemical products, production of catalysts used in oil processing, and refining of noble metals. The company's location places it within one of northeastern China's established industrial regions. Its feedstock arrangements have included crude oil supplied from PetroChina's Daqing oil field and imported crude from Russia. This combination connects Fushun's processing operations to both domestic upstream production and cross-border supply. Fushun Petrochemical has also been associated with paraffin production. Reference material identifies the operation as the world's largest paraffin producer as of 2006, indicating a significant position in a specialized petroleum-derived product market at that time. Paraffin is used across industrial and commercial applications, although the available reference does not provide a detailed breakdown of the company's customer sectors or product grades. A major development announced in 2008 was the construction of a new refining and petrochemical complex in Fushun. The planned complex included an ethylene plant, a polypropylene plant, and a high-density polyethylene plant, with the facilities expected to become operational by 2010. These units would broaden the site's petrochemical integration beyond conventional refining and support production of key chemical intermediates and polymer materials. Publicly available material supplied for this entry does not establish the company's founding year, individual founder, current executives, detailed capacity figures, financial results, consumer-facing campaigns, or a separate official website. Fushun Petrochemical is best understood as an industrial operating division within the PetroChina and CNPC group structure. Its principal identity is tied to refining, petrochemical manufacturing, catalyst production, paraffin, and related industrial processing in Fushun.
History
Fushun Petrochemical Company operates in Fushun, Liaoning Province, as a refining and petrochemical division of PetroChina. The available reference material describes it as an industrial manufacturer rather than a standalone publicly listed company or consumer brand. Its scope includes refining petroleum, manufacturing petrochemical products, producing catalysts for oil processing, and refining noble metals. The operation has been linked to a broad portfolio of petroleum-derived materials. In particular, it was identified in 2006 as the world's largest producer of paraffin. This distinction illustrates the scale of its role in a specialized segment of the petroleum-products industry, although the supplied sources do not provide historical production volumes, revenue, workforce figures, or a detailed account of its paraffin customers. Fushun Petrochemical's feedstock network has included oil from PetroChina's Daqing Field as well as imports from Russia. The combination of domestic and imported crude reflects the site's integration with PetroChina's wider supply system and its geographic position in northeastern China. In 2008, the company began construction of a new refining and petrochemical complex in Fushun. The announced project was designed to include ethylene, polypropylene, and high-density polyethylene plants. The facilities were scheduled in the reference material to become operational by 2010. The planned configuration would have strengthened the site's ability to convert refinery feedstocks into petrochemical intermediates and polymer products, while expanding its integration with the existing refining base. The supplied material does not document the project's final commissioning, subsequent expansions, ownership changes, executive history, environmental incidents, legal disputes, marketing campaigns, or financial performance. Accordingly, the documented history is limited to the company's PetroChina affiliation, its Fushun location and industrial functions, its paraffin-production prominence reported for 2006, and the 2008 construction announcement.

Reported as the world's largest paraffin producer
[1]Reference material identified Fushun Petrochemical as the world's largest producer of paraffin at that time.
Products and positioning
An integrated industrial refining and petrochemical operation within PetroChina, with particular historical prominence in paraffin production and capabilities spanning petroleum processing, polymers, catalysts, and noble-metal refining.
Petroleum-derived industrial material
Paraffin
Paraffin is one of the company's most specifically documented product areas. In 2006, reference material described Fushun Petrochemical as the world's largest paraffin producer. The available source does not specify grades, annual output, end-use sectors, or distribution channels.
Petrochemical intermediate · 2010
Ethylene
Ethylene was included as a core unit in the new Fushun refining and petrochemical complex announced in 2008. It represents an expansion into basic petrochemical production connected to the site's refining operations. The supplied material does not give the plant's capacity or confirm its eventual commissioning.
Polymer · 2010
Polypropylene
A polypropylene plant was part of the complex that Fushun Petrochemical began constructing in 2008. The planned unit would have added polymer production to the company's refining and petrochemical portfolio. No product grades, capacity figures, customers, or confirmed operating date are provided in the supplied reference.
Polymer · 2010
High-density polyethylene
High-density polyethylene was another planned product line for the new Fushun complex. Its inclusion would extend the site's output into a major industrial thermoplastic used in applications such as containers, piping, and packaging, although those end uses are not specifically attributed to this company in the supplied source. Commissioning is not confirmed.
Industrial catalyst
Oil-processing catalysts
Fushun Petrochemical manufactures catalysts used in oil processing. These materials support refinery processes and form part of the company's industrial and process-technology portfolio. The available reference does not identify specific catalyst chemistries, branded product families, production volumes, or external customers.
Specialty refining
Noble-metal refining products
The company is also described as being involved in noble-metal refining. This activity adds a specialty materials dimension to its petroleum and petrochemical operations. The supplied material does not specify the metals processed, refining methods, product forms, or markets served.
