石油设备网讯 据石油和天然气管道新闻3月24日消息，Maire Tecnimont公司已获得尼日利亚国家石油公司(NNPC)的一份合同，将对哈科特港炼油综合体进行全面的完整性检查和设备检查，该综合体是由尼国油的子公司哈科特港炼油有限公司(PHRC)所持有。
该综合体由两家炼油厂组成，总日产量为21万桶。设备检查和完整性检查是第二阶段的准备工作，这一阶段需要全面修复综合设施，其目的是将炼油能力恢复到至少90%的产能利用率。第二阶段，即成功完成完整性检查，将由Tecnimont、Tecnimont Nigeria与伙伴合作，在工程总承包（EPC）基础上进行。
两阶段的改造项目对尼日利亚碳氢化合物下游产业的发展具有战略意义，它提高了尼日利亚国内的炼油能力，同时升级了生产工艺，确保生产出高质量、高附加值的产品。
Maire Tecnimont首席执行官Pierroberto Folgiero表示：“在尼日利亚迈出这重要的第一步后，我们确认了我们商业战略的可靠性，这得益于我们的技术理念，而其中一个关键因素就是帮助我们的客户进行改造。此外，该合同是增强我们在撒哈拉以南非洲足迹的一个战略步骤，鉴于撒哈拉以南非洲的人口结构、快速增长的中产阶级，以及通过加工自然资源来释放和保留当地附加值的必要性，该市场具有良好的下游前景。”

Maire Tecnimont enters Nigeria
Maire Tecnimont has been awarded a contract by Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) to carry out a complete integrity check and equipment inspections of the Port Harcourt Refinery Complex, owned by Port Harcourt Refinery Company Limited (PHRC), a subsidiary of NNPC.
The complex is composed of two refineries totalling an overall capacity of 210,000 bpd. The equipment inspections and integrity check are preparatory to a second phase which entails a full rehabilitation of the complex, aimed at restoring the refining capacity to a minimum 90 per cent of capacity utilisation. The second phase, subject to the successful completion of the integrity check, will be carried out on an EPC basis by Tecnimont and Tecnimont Nigeria, in collaboration with a partner.
The two-phase revamping project is strategic to the development of the Nigerian hydrocarbons downstream sector, by ramping up its in-country refining capacity, while upgrading processes and ensuring higher-quality, value-added products.
Pierroberto Folgiero, Maire Tecnimont chief executive officer, said: “With this first significant step in Nigeria we confirm the soundness of our business strategy, as one of the key elements is to assist our clients in their revamping initiatives, thanks to our technological mindset. Moreover, this contract is a strategic step to enhance our footprint in Sub-Saharan Africa, a market with excellent downstream prospects given its demographics, a fast-growing middle class, and the necessity to unlock and retain locally added value by processing natural resources.”
