S-OIL Corp

S-OIL has the best competitiveness in the petro-chemistry area, along with the lubricant and oil refinement area, through business diversification.

For continuous growth, S-OIL put effort into increasing the value of manufactured products. As a result, by commercially operating the BTX production facility and Naphtha Reforming Plant in April 1991, a base for business diversification in the petro-chemistry area was provided.

Also, for the single process within existing factory land in December 1997, the Xylene Center that produces Para-Xylene of 700,000 tons (currently 740,000 tons) was completed and the company officially entered the petro-chemistry area. In particular, this factory did not only reduce the investment burden per unit, but the petro-chemical products from the BTX process were Para-Xylene, which has high competitiveness from the perspective of material fees.
