China's state-run Sinopec said on Monday it had signed an agreement with a unit of Saudi Aramco to establish a joint venture company aimed at operating ports, transporting crude oil, and providing other services related to the sector.

The capital of this joint venture is worth 28.80 billion yuan ($3.95 billion).

The agreement was signed by Sinopec, its unit Fujian Petroleum Chemical Industry Co, and Saudi Aramco's Singaporean unit Aramco Asia Singapore (AAS).

Sinopec and its unit shall contribute 7.20 billion yuan and 14.40 billion yuan in cash, respectively. The remaining amount, representing 25% of the registered capital of the joint venture, will come from AAS.

The joint venture company, Fujian Sinopec Aramco Refining and Petrochemical Co, will engage in port operation, crude oil transportation, and other activities at the refinery and petrochemical complex in the Gulei Port Economic Development Zone, Zhangzhou, in China's Fujian province.

Sinopec and Saudi Aramco started constructing the complex in November last year, as part of the Middle Eastern company's plans to grow its downstream business outside the kingdom and to supply a million barrels per day of crude oil to China for oil-to-chemicals investments.

Sinopec, in a separate statement, reported a 27.6% drop in first-quarter net profit under the China Accounting Standard on Monday.
