The Ministry of Commerce promulgated the Interim Measures for the Administration of Refined Oil Market, which stipulates that enterprises applying for gas stations must have stable supply channels for refined oil and sign oil supply agreements with refined oil enterprises with wholesale business qualifications.
There are two main gas stations, PetroChina and Sinopec. Only by signing an oil supply agreement with these two state-owned monopoly giants will the country accept the application for opening a gas station, and the applied gas station must meet the requirements of the local gas station industry development plan.
