石油设备网讯 据油价网2022年12月15日报道，法国超级能源巨头道达尔能源公司和沙特石油巨头沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司（沙特阿美）12月15日在一份联合声明中表示，两家公司将在沙特阿拉伯建造一个投资110亿美元的大型石化联合体Amiral。
Amiral石化联合体将拥有、运营并与位于沙特阿拉伯东海岸朱拜勒的现有SATORP炼油厂整合。
两家公司表示，Amiral石化联合体将使SATORP炼油厂能够将内部生产的炼油厂气体和石脑油，以及沙特阿美供应的乙烷和天然汽油转化为更高价值的化学制品，有助于推进沙特阿美的液体化学品战略。
在国内外扩大石化业务是沙特阿美战略的一个支柱，该战略旨在占领更多的细分市场，这个细分市场预计未来几十年石油需求将不断增长。
在110亿美元的石化项目投资中，有40亿美元将由沙特阿美(62.5%)和道达尔能源公司(37.5%)通过股权融资。Amiral石化联合体的建设预计将于2023年第一季度开始，目标是在2027年启动商业运营。
Amiral石化联合体将包括一个每年能生产165万吨乙烯的混合原料裂解装置，这是该地区第一个与炼油厂集成的装置，以及两个采用先进双环技术的最先进的聚乙烯装置，一个丁二烯提取装置和其他相关衍生物装置。
沙特阿美和道达尔能源公司表示，Amiral石化联合体最终将为朱拜勒工业区的其他石化和特种化工厂提供原料，朱拜勒工业区将由全球知名的下游投资者建造、拥有和运营，预计将在该行业再投资40亿美元。
道达尔能源公司首席执行官潘彦磊表示：“我们很高兴通过启动这个扩展项目，在我们世界上最大、最高效的炼油和石化平台SATORP成功开发的基础上，写下我们共同历史的新篇章。”
这名道达尔能源公司高管补充说：“这个世界级的石化联合体也符合我们的战略，即通过最大限度地发挥我们主要平台的协同作用，在石化领域可持续扩张。”

Aramco And TotalEnergies To Build $11 Billion Petrochemical Complex
French supermajor TotalEnergies and Saudi oil giant Aramco will build a massive petrochemical complex in Saudi Arabia worth $11 billion, the two companies said in a joint statement on Thursday.
The “Amiral” petrochemical complex will be owned, operated, and integrated with the existing SATORP refinery in Jubail on Saudi Arabia’s eastern coast.
The petrochemical facility will enable the SATORP refinery to convert internally produced refinery off-gases and naphtha, as well as ethane and natural gasoline supplied by Aramco, into higher value chemicals, helping to advance Aramco’s liquids to chemicals strategy, the companies said.
Expansion of the petrochemicals business at home and abroad is a pillar of Saudi Aramco’s strategy to capture more of the market segment where oil demand is expected to grow for decades.
Of the $11 billion investment in the petrochemical project, $4 billion will be funded through equity by Aramco (62.5%) and TotalEnergies (37.5%). Construction of the complex is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2023 with the goal of launching commercial operations in 2027.
The complex will include a mixed feed cracker capable of producing 1.65 million tons per annum of ethylene, the first in the region to be integrated with a refinery, and two state-of-the-art polyethylene units using Advanced Dual Loop technology, a butadiene extraction unit, and other associated derivatives units.
The facility will eventually provide feedstock to other petrochemical and specialty chemical plants in the Jubail industrial area, which will be built, owned, and operated by globally renowned downstream investors, expected to invest an additional $4 billion in the industry, Aramco and TotalEnergies say.
“We are delighted to write a new page of our joint history by launching this expansion project, building on the successful development of SATORP, our biggest and most efficient refining & petrochemicals platform in the world,” TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanné said.
“This world-class complex also fits with our strategy to expand sustainably in petrochemicals by maximizing the synergies within our major platforms,” the executive added.
