Integrating Refining and Petrochemicals to Drive Innovation Importing & Refining As Taiwan’s domestic production of crude oil yields only extremely low volumes, CPC needs to import virtually all of the crude it refines to supply its domestic market. To ensure stability, CPC works to both maximize procurement on long-term contracts and diversify its sources of crude. Total crude oil imports in 2024 reached 134.6 million barrels, 38.62% originating from the Middle East, 60.91% from the USA, and 0.47% from Africa. To import crude oil, CPC has installed offshore mooring pontoons to unload large crude oil tankers at Shalun in Taoyuan and at Dalinpu in Kaohsiung. The company has also built dedicated loading/unloading berths for refined oil tankers in the ports of Kaohsiung, Taichung and Shenao. Currently, CPC’s operating refineries in Taoyuan and Dalin can refine 600,000 barrels of crude oil per day. In particular, the Dalin Refinery has four offshore mooring pontoons and ports with which to unload imported crude oil and export oil products. It has a refining capacity of 400,000 barrels per day, while the Taoyuan Refinery’s capacity is 200,000 barrels per day. In 2024, CPC’s refined products output totaled 8.075 million kiloliters of gasoline, 2.188 million kiloliters of aviation fuel (JP-A1), 5.551 million kiloliters of diesel, 2.217 million kiloliters of fuel oil, and 453 kilotons of LPG.
