石油设备网讯 据碳氢加工网3月19日报道称，厄瓜多尔能源部长卡洛斯佩雷斯表示，该国计划在5月份启动一轮国际招标，以建造日产量为30万桶的新炼油厂。
佩雷斯表示，该项目还将包括对日产量11万桶的Esmeraldas炼油厂进行升级改造的特许权，该炼油厂正在进行部分停产维护。
他补充称，自3月1日以来已部分关闭的Esmeraldas炼油厂将比最初预期的54天延长六周。该炼油厂目前日产量为5.5万桶，约为其实际产能的一半。
佩雷斯补充说，厄瓜多尔计划到2019年底将原油日产量提高3万桶，达到56万桶。
厄瓜多尔已要求欧佩克给予其特别授权，将石油生产配额从目前50.8万桶/天增加至53.5万桶/天。

Ecuador to invite bids to build new refinery
Ecuador plans to launch an international bidding round for the construction of a new 300,000 barrel per day (bpd) refinery in May, Energy Minister Carlos Perez said.
That project will also include a concession to upgrade the 110,000 bpd Esmeraldas refinery, which is undergoing a planned partial shutdown for maintenance, Perez said.
He added that Esmeraldas, which has been partly closed since March 1, will remain shut for six weeks longer than the 54 days initially expected. The refinery is producing 55,000 bpd, around half its capacity.
Perez added that the South American country planned to boost its crude output by 30,000 bpd to a total of 560,000 bpd by the end of 2019.
Ecuador has asked the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), of which it is a member, for special authorization to increase its production quota to 535,000 bpd, up from 508,000 bpd currently.
