Abstract: China has issued a series of policies on the right for use of imported oil and the import qualifications of non-State trade for the purpose to promote marketization of oil refining industry. The country’s refined oil products output and marketing are continually on the increase, with the oil refining capacity continuing to rise and the proportion of local refineries obviously raised. The industrial layout is continually under optimization. Dependence on foreign crude oil sees another record high by reaching 68.4 percent in 2017 owing to the growth in oil processing volume, import of crude oil, output of refined products and market demand. China sees rapid development of oil refining technology and owns the internationally-leading technologies of 10-million-ton oil refining equipment and inferior crude oil processing with its independent intellectual property rights. The country has also made remarkable achievements in localization of equipment and export of technology. Looking into the future, China’s oil refining industry faces conversion, modernization, integration, and conglomeration. It is necessary to take a series of measures, such as continually optimizing industrial distribution, stimulating local refineries for healthy development, further improving adaptability of high-sulfur, high-acid and heavy oil for processing, adjusting structure of refined products, constructing energy-saving and environmentally-friendly oil refineries and making continuous efforts for oil refining technological innovation to bring about sustainable development of China’s oil refining industry.
