Sinopec Buys Saudi Yanbu Refinery Stake for $562 Million - Bloomberg:
"China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. (386) will invest $562 million to buy its parent’s stake in an oil-processing plant in Saudi Arabia to consolidate its position as Asia’s biggest refiner.
The Beijing-based company, known as Sinopec, will hold 37.5 percent in Yanbu Co., it said in a filing yesterday to the Hong Kong stock exchange. Saudi Arabian Oil Co., known as Saudi Aramco, will owns the balance of 62.5 percent, Sinopec said.
China Petrochemical Corp., Sinopec’s state-owned parent, signed an agreement with Aramco in January 2012 to develop a refinery in the Saudi city of Yanbu at a cost of as much as $10 billion. The 400,000 barrel-a-day plant may start this year, Saudi Aramco Chief Executive Officer Khalid al-Falih said at the time."
