Sinopec Challenges India's Energy Influence with New Sri Lanka Refinery

The world’s biggest refiner, China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation, or Sinopec , is accelerating plans to build its first fully-owned refinery outside China. Sinopec is set to complete a feasibility study in June to build one or two refineries in Sri Lanka as China looks to capitalize on its foreign investments. China Merchants Port Holdings has developed and operates the Hambantota port in Sri Lanka , an island very close to India .

If Sinopec’s project in Sri Lanka goes through, it would be the first fully-owned refinery of the refining giant abroad.
