As the raw material of graphite petroleum coke, what is the regional distribution of its suppliers in China? China's petroleum coke suppliers are mainly distributed in East China, South China, and Northeast China, among which East China accounts for the largest proportion. The specific situation is as follows:
1. East China: It is the region with the most concentrated petroleum coke suppliers in my country. In 2022, the production and supply of petroleum coke accounted for about 50% of the country. Shandong in the region is a key production area with many local refineries, such as Dongying, Zibo, Binzhou, and other places. With the advantages of being close to crude oil import ports and domestic crude oil production areas, it is convenient to obtain raw materials, with low transportation costs and complete industrial supporting facilities, gathering a large number of petroleum coke suppliers.
2. South China: Petroleum coke suppliers are also relatively concentrated, accounting for about 12% of the national total. Guangdong is the main production province in the region. It is close to coastal ports, which is convenient for crude oil tanker loading and unloading. It can efficiently and low-costly transport overseas crude oil, providing stable and sufficient raw materials for petroleum coke production, thus attracting many suppliers to set out here.
3. Northeast China: As an important crude oil producing area in China, Northeast China has the advantage of local materials and is one of the main distribution areas of petroleum coke suppliers, accounting for about 10%. Liaoning is the main province for petroleum coke production in the region and has related enterprises of a certain scale.
4. Other regions: Northwest China, with its advantage as a crude oil producing area, also has a certain number of petroleum coke suppliers distributed. However, there are relatively few petroleum coke suppliers in North China, Central China, and Southwest China, accounting for about 6%, 4% and 2% of the production and supply in 2022, respectively.
In summary, the distribution of petroleum coke is mainly concentrated in the areas surrounding the oil refining bases. These areas rely on the by-product resources of oil refining enterprises to form a relatively stable supply system. East China is an important area for petroleum coke production, especially in Shandong, Jiangsu, and other places, which have many large-scale refining enterprises, and the quality of petroleum coke produced is stable and can meet the needs of export trade.
