中国石化新闻网讯 据安迅思新加坡10月19日消息，沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司(沙特阿美)和沙特基础工业公司(沙比克)目前正考虑将现有位于沙特延布的炼油厂与一个世界级规模的混合进料蒸汽裂解装置和下游烯烃衍生物装置进行整合，这是它们计划中的石油制化学品项目的一部分。

10月18日，沙比克在提交给沙特证券交易所的一份文件中表示，公司正在重新评估原项目的规模，以“在评估最佳技术选择和市场风险的同时，最大化其经济价值”。沙特阿美于2017年首次宣布了这个计划中的石油制化学品项目，预计投资在200亿至300亿美元之间。

这个计划中的全面一体化的石油制化学品工厂，最初计划于2025年完工，预计将每天处理40万桶原油，年产约900万吨石化产品。沙特阿美于9月中旬成立了一个综合性企业发展组织，其任务是评估公司的资产组合并确定增长机会。沙比克表示:“沙比克和沙特阿美公司仍然致力于通过现有的开发项目，继续推进原油转化为化工产品的技术，以提高石化产品的成本效率、竞争力和创造价值的机会。”

SABIC, Saudi Aramco eye expanding scope of oil-to-chemicals project

Saudi Aramco and SABIC are now looking at integrating existing refineries in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia with a world-scale mixed feed steam cracker and downstream olefin derivative units, as part of their planned oil-to-chemicals project.

The scope of the original project is being re-assessed “to maximize the economic value while evaluating the optimal technical options and market risks", SABIC said in a filing on the Saudi bourse, Tadawul, on 18 October.

The planned oil-to-chemicals complex first announced by Saudi Aramco in 2017 was estimated to cost between $20bn-30bn.

The planned full-integrated complex initially scheduled for completion in 2025, is expected to process 400,000 bbl/day of crude oil to produce about 9m tonnes/year of petrochemicals.

Saudi Aramco formed in mid-September an integrated corporate development organization, which was tasked to review the company’s asset portfolio and identify growth opportunities.

“SABIC and Saudi Aramco remain committed to continue advancing crude to chemicals technologies through existing development programs with the goal to increase cost efficiency, competitiveness and value creation opportunities for petrochemicals,” SABIC said.
