PetroChina will build an oil products storage tank in Changsha, central Hunan province, to link with its Lanzhou-Zhengzhou-Changsha oil products pipeline.

As one part of its 2,148.4-km Lanzhou-Zhengzhou-Changsha pipeline, the Changsha tank, to cost 800 million yuan, is designed to have storage capacity of 400,000 cbm and will come on stream before October 2009.

To feed on oil products pumped from northeast and northwest China, the tank is expected to act as a distribution center to supply Hunan and the provinces nearby.
