据阿拉伯新闻5月7日消息称，阿曼主要石油投资公司OQ宣布，该国重要的能源开采项目之一OQ液化石油气厂成功投产。

该设施根据安全、质量和技术完整性的最高标准在萨拉拉赫自由区建造，总投资为8.26亿美元。贫气厂的日产能为800万标准立方米。

它由萃取厂、分馏设施、储罐、运输设施和互联管道系统组成。

一旦全面投产，该项目每年将生产约30.4万吨液化石油气产品，其中包括15.5万吨丙烷(C3)、11.1万吨丁烷(C4)和3.8万吨凝析油(C5+)。

OQ下游业务发展副总裁Sultan bin Ali Al Burtumani在纪念这一重要里程碑时说：“OQ液化石油气工厂通过实现天然气资源的最佳利用来提取液化天然气，为国家经济做出了巨大贡献，这将有助于满足佐法尔省和阿曼南部的液化石油气需求。”

他补充说：“ OQ液化石油气工厂将进一步提高我们的标准，为我们的客户提供更好的服务质量并优化利益相关者的价值。OQ正与能源和矿产部合作，最大限度地提取天然气水合物，天然气水合物是“天然中更丰富的物质”，用于石化工业的发展。

据他介绍，OQ液化石油气工厂的年产量预计将达到30万吨。该工厂在创收、国内价值(ICV)和社区发展方面具有巨大潜力。

除了通过丙烷、丁烷和凝析油的销售获得经济价值外，该工厂还将产生潜在的下游业务，如石化业务。
