On September 7, a 5.7 magnitude
earthquake hit the border area of Yunnan Province and Guizhou Province,
resulting in severe loss of lives and property. Immediately after the
earthquake, CNPC headquarters ordered related subsidiaries to give full support
to the disaster stricken area.
On September 8, CNPC donated RMB 5
million to Yunnan and Guizhou respectively. Meanwhile, all of CNPC’s oil depots
and service stations in the disaster stricken area opened up green channels to
ensure full load oil supply for rescue activities. PetroChina Yunnan Marketing
Company and Guizhou Marketing Company activated emergency plans to increase oil
storage at the service stations and enhance supply of oil products to the
affected area. Up to now, CNPC has arranged 146,600 tons of accumulative stock
of refined products in Yunnan and Guizhou, which is enough to support the
earthquake alleviation work and ordinary demand in the region.
