石油设备网讯 据石油世界网4月1日布宜诺斯艾利斯报道，三名消息人士周三表示，阿根廷国家石油公司（YPF）将在未来五年里投资大约20亿美元在其麾下的两个炼油厂里进行脱硫处理。
拒绝透露名字的消息人士称，YPF最初将在其门多萨省炼油厂投资10多亿美元，并雇用大约900名工人让炼油厂适应这一过程。其余投资将用于该公司在拉普拉塔的炼油厂。
参与该项目的一名消息人士说，这一过程将允许遵守“要求燃料更加环保的国际标准”。
另外两名消息人士称，YPF还进行了小规模的试验来提高常规井的原油采收率，即三次采油。
为此，YPF订购了10个可移动的聚合物厂，旨在提高原油的采收率。其中两个厂已经在布宜诺斯艾利斯港口等待运往位于门多萨省、丘布特省和圣克鲁斯省的油田。其中一个聚合物厂预计将在今年第二季度投产。

Argentina's YPF to invest $2 bln in two refineries
Argentine state-controlled oil company YPF will invest some $2 billion over the next five years to carry out a desulfurization process in two of its refineries, three people with knowledge of the plan said on Wednesday.
YPF will initially invest more than $1 billion in its Mendoza province refinery and hire about 900 people to adapt the plant for the process, said the sources, declining to be named. The rest of the investment will go towards the company's refinery in La Plata.
The process will allow compliance with “international standards requiring fuels to be more environmentally friendly,” said one of the sources, who is working on the project.
YPF has also carried out pilot tests for the improvement of oil recovery from conventional wells, known as tertiary recovery, two of the sources said.
For that, YPF ordered 10 mobile polymer plants, intended to improve oil extraction. Two of the plants are already in Buenos Aires port waiting to be transported to oil fields in Mendoza, Chubut and Santa Cruz provinces.
The polymer plants are due to start operating in the second quarter of the year, one of the sources said.
YPF declined to comment.
