The two major oil companies have begun to get supplies to Sichuan from Shanghai Daily newspaper:
PetroChina Co has resumed fuel supplies in those hardest-hit quake zones with eight pumping stations near the epicenter resuming operation by Sunday, its parent firm said.Whew, 5 million are estimated to have lost their homes in an area with 20 million people. The reconstruction will take a long time and be a momentous effort, no doubt!
PetroChina has sent 16 tank trucks and five fuel tankers to quake areas to ensure vital energy supplies. PetroChina's oil products pipeline linking its Lanzhou refinery in Gansu and Sichuan has resumed operation and is currently running smoothly, with transport volume and storage back to or above the levels before the quake, China National Petroleum Corporation said.
The daily volume through the pipeline, a key supplier to Sichuan, reached 16,900 tons on Sunday, 2,000 tons above the average, it said.
Sinopec Corp, China's second-largest oil company, is now producing a record 6,000 tons of diesel per day and 1,000 tons of jet fuel per day at its Jingmen refinery in Hubei Province to ensure a smooth rescue mission, its parent, China Petrochemical Corp, said.
