據安迅思新加坡6月9日消息，國有卡塔爾能源公司和美國生產商雪佛龍菲利普斯化學公司將于本月開始建設雙方建議中的拉斯拉凡石化項目。

卡塔爾能源公司在6月8日的一份聲明中表示，兩家公司已授予Consolidated Contractors Co (CCC)一筆總價合同，用于在卡塔爾北部的拉斯拉凡工業城準備場地。

拉斯拉凡石化項目將擁有一套208萬噸/年的乙烷裂解裝置，建成后將成為中東地區最大的乙烷裂解裝置，同時也將成為全球最大的乙烷裂解裝置之一。

卡塔爾能源公司總裁兼首席執行官兼卡塔爾能源事務國務大臣Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi表示：“該項目將使卡塔爾的聚乙烯產能增加約64%。”

卡塔爾能源公司表示，該工地的準備工作將于本月開始，之后預計將授予工程、采購和建設合同。

該項目將于2026年建成投產，比2019年首次公布時的目標晚了1年。

該項目已于2021年完成前端工程和設計，目前正處于EPC招標階段。

卡塔爾能源公司表示：“當招標完成并做出最終投資決定時，項目將推進到工程、采購和建設階段?！?/p>

安迅思公司曾經報道稱，卡塔爾石油公司和雪佛龍菲利普斯化學公司在該合資項目中分別擁有70%和30%股權，該項目將擁有190萬噸/年的乙烯產能和168萬噸/年的高密度聚乙烯產能，其中包括兩套HDPE裝置。

卡塔爾石油公司于2021年10月更名為卡塔爾能源公司。

QatarEnergy, CPChem start work on Ras Laffan petrochemical project

Stated-owned QatarEnergy, formerly known as Qatar Petroleum, and US producer Chevron Phillips Chemical Co (CPChem) will start work on their proposed Ras Laffan petrochemical project this month.

The companies have awarded a lump-sum contract to Consolidated Contractors Co (CCC) to prepare the site at the Ras Laffan Industrial City in northern Qatar, QatarEnergy said in a statement on 8 June.

The Ras Laffan project will have a 2.08m tonne/year ethane cracking unit, “making it the largest ethane cracker in the Middle East and one of the largest in the world”, it said.

“This project will increase Qatar’s polyethylene output capacity by approximately 64%,” said QatarEnergy president and CEO Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, who is also Qatar’s Minister of State for Energy Affairs.

Preparation works on the site will begin this month, after which, the contract for engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) is expected to be awarded, QatarEnergy said.

Start-up is slated in 2026, a year later than the initial target when the project was first announced in 2019.

The project has completed its front-end engineering and design (FEED) in 2021 and is currently in the EPC tendering phase.

“When tendering is complete and a final investment decision has been made, the project will advance to the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction phase,” it said.

The 70-30 joint venture project between Qatar Petroleum and Chevron Phillips will have 1.9m tonnes/year of ethylene capacity and 1.68m tonnes/year of high density polyethylene (HDPE) capacity with two HDPE units, ICIS had reported.

Qatar Petroleum was renamed QatarEnergy in October 2021.
