The Qinhuangdao Municipal Data and Government Service Bureau has announced the revocation of the refined oil retail operation certificate for Sinopec Hebei Qinhuangdao Petroleum Branch's First City gas station. This station has been non-operational since 2017, and its refined oil retail operation certificate expired in October 2019. In February 2026, the bureau issued two notices to Sinopec Hebei Qinhuangdao Petroleum Branch, informing the company that due to the expiration of the certificate and the station's inability to meet operating conditions, it must submit feedback within 10 working days and apply for the cancellation of the retail license. To date, the company has neither communicated with the bureau nor voluntarily submitted the cancellation application. In accordance with relevant regulations, including Article 70 of China's Administrative Licensing Law and Article 37 of the Refined Oil Circulation Management Measures, the bureau has decided to revoke the certificate effective from the announcement's deadline. The company will bear full responsibility for any economic disputes, safety, environmental issues, or legal consequences arising from the unauthorized use of the certificate. The announcement period is 30 natural days, from March 31 to April 29, 2026.
