沙特阿美与道达尔能源联手在沙特阿拉伯建造石化综合设施

沙特阿拉伯达兰， 2022年12月15日 – 沙特阿拉伯石油公司（沙特阿美）与道达尔能源已就在沙特境内建造一处世界级石化设施做出最终投资决定。拟建立的Amiral综合设施将隶属于位于沙特东海岸朱拜勒的SATORP炼厂，由其运营并与其整合。本次交易的完成将取决于惯例成交条件及审批流程。

通过此石化设施，SATORP将炼厂内部生产的废气与石脑油、以及沙特阿美输送的乙烷与天然气转化为更高价值的化学品，有望助力沙特阿美进一步推进石油化工战略。

该设施将包括一个混合原料裂解装置，每年可生产165万吨乙烯，这是海湾地区第一个与炼油厂整合的裂解装置。设施还将包括两个采用高级双回路技术的尖端聚乙烯装置、一个丁二烯提取装置和其他相关的衍生物装置。

项目投资规模高达110亿美元，其中40亿美元将由沙特阿美(62.5%)和道达尔能源(37.5%)通过股权出资完成。该设施计划于2023年第一季度开工建设，2027年投入商业运营。

该综合设施将为位于朱拜勒工业区内的其他石化和特种化工厂提供原料，这些工厂将由全球知名的下游投资者建造、持有和运营，估计需要额外投资40亿美元。此举将助力推进碳纤维、润滑油、钻井液、洗涤剂、食品添加剂、汽车零部件和轮胎等重点制造业的发展。

综合设施整体，包括相邻的设施，预计在当地将创造7,000个直接和间接就业机会。

2022年7月，SATORP成为中东和北非地区第一家获得ISCC+认证的炼油厂，这是对其循环举措，例如塑料和二手食用油回收，的国际认可。2022年11月，SATORP加工了第一批回收塑料。

Dhahran, Saudi Arabia,

December 15, 2022 – The Saudi Arabian Oil Company (“Aramco”) and TotalEnergies have taken the final investment decision for the construction of a world scale petrochemical facility in Saudi Arabia. The ‘Amiral’ complex will be owned, operated, and integrated with the existing SATORP refinery located in Jubail on Saudi Arabia’s eastern coast. The investment decision is subject to customary closing conditions and approvals.

The petrochemical facility will enable SATORP 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 complex will comprise of 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. It will also include two state-of-the-art polyethylene units using  Advanced Dual Loop technology, a butadiene extraction unit, and other associated derivatives units.

The project alone represents an investment of around $11 billion, of which $4 billion will be funded through equity by Aramco (62.5%) and TotalEnergies (37.5%). Its construction is scheduled to begin during the first quarter of 2023 with commercial operation targeted to start in 2027.

Eventually, the complex will provide feedstock to other petrochemical and specialty chemical plants, located in the Jubail industrial area, which will be built, owned and operated by globally renowned downstream investors, entailing an estimated additional $4 billion of investments.  This will support the establishment of key manufacturing industries such as carbon fibers, lubes, drilling fluids, detergents, food additives, automotive parts and tires.

The overall complex, including adjacent facilities, is expected to create 7,000 local direct and indirect jobs.

In July 2022, SATORP was the first MENA refinery to be certified ISCC+, an international recognition towards its circular initiatives, such as the recycling of plastic and used cooking oil. A first batch of recycled plastic was processed by the refinery in November 2022.
