Aramco invests in Shandong oil production and supply assets
Saudi Aramco is planning to acquire of 10% stake of China’s Shandong Yulong Petrochemical for oil products purchase and supply cooperation.
Aramco, Nanshan Group, Shandong Energy Group, and Shandong Yulong Petrochemical have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to facilitate discussions relating to the possible acquisition by Aramco of a 10% strategic equity interest in Shandong Yulong Petrochemical.

The facilities are located at Longkou, Yantai in Shandong.

Mohammed Y. Al Qahtani, Aramco Downstream President, said: “As one of China’s largest refining and chemical centers, Aramco values Shandong for its current strength and future prospects. We believe this collaboration has potential to enable all parties to contribute to China’s energy security and development, and aid in navigating the energy transition.”
