We have a 49% interest in the huge South Sulige gas field in Inner Mongolia. With more than 500 wells in production, the field is strategically located in the Ordos Basin, at the crossroads between Turkmenistan’s import gas pipeline and the pipelines supplying Beijing and Shanghai.

We also operate the Taiyang PSC deep offshore exploration license (49%).

Lastly, we have formed a number of partnerships with Chinese national companies active in exploration and production outside their home country.

Through the partnership between our affiliate SunPower (55.66%) and the Tianjin Zhonghuan Semiconductor Group – specialized in the production of wafers – as well as local authorities, the grid operator and state investment firms, we hold interests in two joint ventures:

We have a polystyrene plant in Foshan, in the Guangzhou region, and another in Ningbo, in the Shanghai region, both with a capacity of 200,000 metric tons per year.
We market petrochemicals in China, some of which are sourced from our South Korean and Qatari joint ventures.

We are also active in the hydrocarbon resins market through our wholly owned affiliate Cray Valley.

In specialty chemicals, we operate in the country through our wholly owned affiliate Hutchinson, the leader in elastomers processing specialized in sealing, fluids management, anti-vibration systems, and materials and structures (acoustic and thermal insulation). Hutchinson has several industrial facilities in the country.

Lastly, we market solid sulfur for fertilizer production, imported from the Middle East, as well as petcoke primarily sourced from Saudi Arabia.
