PetroChina Co. will increase crude- oil processing at its biggest refinery by 9 percent this year from a year earlier as demand gains, an official said.
Refining volume at the plant in the northern city of Dalian will rise to 17.5 million metric tons, or 350,000 barrels a day, said a refinery official, who declined to be named because of company rules. The facility’s oil-processing volume rose to a record of 16.03 million tons in 2009, parent China National Petroleum Corp. said in January.
