Shengli Petroleum Administrative Bureau of Sinopec Group and Shengli Oil Field Company of Sinopec Corporation are also known as Sinopec Shengli Oil Field. It is mainly located in Dongying, Shandong Province, with working areas distributed in eight cities and twenty-eight counties in Shandong Province, and also in five provinces and autonomy regions in other parts of China, such as Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia. Shengli Oilfield was discovered and developed in the 1950s. Larger scale exploration campaigns began in 1964 with government support in what is now Dongying City. Shengli has been China’s second largest oilfield since 1978.
