Urumqi will be built into an important petrochemical base in western China

During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, Urumqi City will firmly grasp the period of strategic development opportunities, make good use of national differentiated industrial policies, continue to strive for national and autonomous regional policies and financial support, and actively encourage and guide the entry of foreign and private enterprises. The advantages of oil and natural gas resources and the existing industrial base will increase the production capacity of oil refining and the expansion of chemical fertilizers, and accelerate the construction of supporting facilities for aromatic hydrocarbon chemical systems. Accelerate the transformation of advantageous resources such as oil, natural gas, coal, and coalbed methane, extend the industrial chain of olefins, aromatics, coal chemicals, and natural gas, and form a number of petrochemical and chemical industrial chains of different scales and characteristics, forming a group of petrochemical industrial clusters. Focus will be placed on cultivating petrochemicals and coal chemical projects featuring deep processing to settle in the park and accelerate the development of petrochemical midstream and downstream products.

Promote the deep processing of oil and natural gas in situ. Focus on supporting the construction of Urumqi Petrochemical's newly-built equipment project that will treat 6 million tons of crude oil, including annual decompression, annual production of 600,000 tons of synthetic ammonia, and 1.04 million tons of urea, and accelerate the construction of an annual production capacity of 1 million steel trucks. Support Sinopec Northwest Oilfield Branch, CNPC Wuhua Petrochemical Branch, Huatai Heavy Chemicals, and Wuxi Petrochemical to develop and develop general engineering plastics industrial clusters and chemical fiber and textile industrial clusters with 10 million tons of large oil refining and 1 million tons of large aromatic hydrocarbons. Relying on Midong District Chemical Industry Park, Ganquanbao Industrial Zone and fine chemical enterprises, it develops new chemical materials and fine chemical industries. Strive to reach the end of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” by forming a production capacity of 10 million tons of oil refining, 1 million tons of aromatics, 1 million tons of fertilizer, and 1 million radial tires. The petrochemical industry will realize an industrial added value of 21 billion yuan, an average annual increase of 15% or more. To build an important petrochemical base in western China.
