Importing & Re ning
CPC procures its crude oil through long-term contracts, with a diversity of sources to ensure stability in supply. Imports in 2015
totaled 129.97 million barrels, of which 71.91% came from the Middle East, 21.37% from Africa, 1.37% from Southeast Asia, 0.43%
from Australia, and 4.92% from other regions. Low-sulfur crude accounted for a significant proportion of those imports, in line
with increasingly stringent domestic standards for environmental protection.
Given the importance of efficient loading and unloading of both crude oil and refined products, CPC has invested in state-of-the-
art handling facilities in the form of offshore mooring and unloading buoys for large tankers, plus supporting onshore equipment
at both the Shalung terminal in Taoyuan County and the Dalinpu terminal in Kaohsiung. There are also dedicated tanker wharves
at Kaohsiung, Taichung, Keelung, and Shenao harbors.
