According to Wang Qingyun, director of the State Reserve Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission, the oil reserve consists of 75 percent crude oil and 25 percent oil products.

The reserve's second phase of construction has not yet begun, as relevant regulators discuss its future location, Wang said.
