The Saudi Arabian Oil Company ("Aramco") and TotalEnergies
(Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) 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.
Saudi Aramco Chief Executive Officer Amin H. Nasser said: "Our
long-standing relationship with TotalEnergies has been further
strengthened by this important project, which represents an
opportunity for us to showcase the potential for cutting edge
liquids to chemicals technologies that support the circular
economy. With this collaboration we aim to expand the value chain
by producing advanced chemicals more efficiently than ever before,
accelerating industrial progress in the Kingdom."
Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
TotalEnergies said: "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. It also
deepens the exemplary relationship between our two companies over
many decades in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This world-class
complex also fits with our strategy to expand sustainably in
petrochemicals by maximizing the synergies within our major
platforms."
