China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec), one of the country's three biggest oil companies, said Thursday it has released the petrochemical industry's first industrial intelligent agent capable of directly participating in production operations.

The AI agent, "Fenghuo," is designed to analyze production data, invoke industrial software, and produce research and engineering outputs as a digital colleague during production.

According to the company, Fenghuo will be used to expand AI applications and support iterative upgrades across the petrochemical value chain, including operational and engineering workflows.
