The Daqing Petroleum Museum is also known as the 'Petroleum Cube', meaning 'oil reservoir underground'. Its predecessor was the China Petroleum Pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. It is a joint construction by China's three major oil groups: China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec), and China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC). It was relocated here from Shanghai in 2011 and mainly features exhibits themed around petroleum.
