Fujian Fuels Marketing Joint Venture Project. The signing of the
two joint venture contracts marks significant milestones in the
development of China�s first fully integrated Sino-foreign projects
that involve refining, petrochemicals and fuels and chemicals
marketing. The Fujian Refining and Ethylene Joint Venture Project,
located in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, will expand the existing
refinery from 80,000 barrels-per-day (4 million tons-per-year) to
240,000 barrels-per-day (12 million tons-per-year). The upgraded
refinery will primarily refine and process sour Arabian crude. In
addition, the project will construct an 800,000 tons-per-year
ethylene steam cracker, an 800,000 tons-per-year polyethylene unit,
a 400,000 tons-per-year polypropylene unit and an aromatics complex
to produce 700,000 tons-per-year of paraxylene. Support facilities
including a 300,000 ton crude berth and power cogeneration will
also be built. This joint venture company will be owned by Fujian
Petrochemical Company Limited (FPCL) (50%), ExxonMobil China
Petroleum and Petrochemical Company Limited (25%) and Saudi Aramco
Sino Company Limited (25%). Currently, the project is expected to
start up in early 2009. The Fujian Fuels Marketing Joint Venture
Project will manage and operate approximately 750 service stations
and a network of terminals in Fujian Province. It will be owned by

Together, the Fujian Refining and Ethylene Joint Venture Project
and the Fujian Fuels Marketing Joint Venture Project will serve to
meet China�s rapidly growing demand for petroleum products and
petrochemicals. Synergies among these two world-class, integrated
businesses, closely coupled with the strengths of each partner and
a reliable supply of crude oil from Saudi Aramco, significantly
enhance the competitiveness of this project, and help ensure its
world-class performance. *Fujian Petrochemical Company Limited
