Saudi Aramco said Tuesday that it has signed and discussed a number of cooperation arrangements and prospective commercial collaborations worth over $12 billion with French companies at the Saudi-France CEO Forum in Paris.

Saudi Aramco said one of the major agreements includes a memorandum of understanding with Total SA (FP.FR) worth $9 billion for the joint development of a petrochemicals complex integrated with existing Satorp refinery in Jubail, Saudi Arabia.

In a separate statement, Total said the complex will be integrated downstream of the Satorp refinery, a joint venture between Saudi Aramco, holder of a 62.5% stake, and Total, which owns 37.5%. The complex will have a mixed-feed steam cracker with a capacity of 1.5 million tons a year of ethylene and related high-added-value petrochemical units, Total said. Front-end engineering and design is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2018, it said.

Saudi Aramco said it discussed commercial collaborations with other French companies such as Veolia Environnement SA (VIE.FR), Suez SA (SEV.FR) and Schneider Electric SE (SU.FR).
