Sinopec to mix oil and water at Easy Joy locations

China Petroleum and Chemical Corp, also known as Sinopec, will start selling glacier water at its 23,000 Easy Joy convenience stores, cooperating with a Tibetan company in an attempt to introduce further mixed-ownership reform.

The oil company signed an agreement with Tibet Highland Natural Water Ltd on Thursday to establish a glacier water brand and use Sinopec's retailing network to sell it nationwide.

Sinopec says the bottled water has been sent to 11 provinces and cities, including Beijing and Shanghai. Its gas service stores will start selling the brand on Aug 15.
