据烃加工在线 6月26日消息称，沙特阿美公司正在推进其全球化学品增长战略，启动了S-Oil新的渣油升级综合设施和烯烃下游综合设施。
新设施采用了最新的炼油技术，使S-Oil的石化产品比例从8%提高到13%，包括丙烯和汽油等高价值产品。
沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司总裁兼首席执行官Amin H. Nasser说：“今天的开幕典礼标志着S-Oil和沙特阿美公司的历史性时刻。S-Oil是沙特阿美国际下游战略的榜样，为韩国经济增长提供了至关重要的能源，发挥了重要作用。这两家新工厂将为韩国的主要工业提供高价值的产品。韩国的全球品牌已经成为我们日常生活的一部分，在技术、创新、创造力和质量方面跻身世界前列。”
开幕典礼还包括两家公司签署谅解备忘录，合作建设一个60亿美元的蒸汽裂解炉和烯烃下游项目，预计将于2024年完工。新型世界一流的蒸汽裂解炉将以石脑油和炼油厂废气为原料，生产乙烯等基础化工产品。
这项新协议支持沙特阿美在未来10年增加其全球石化足迹的计划。该协议还将包括部署沙特阿美公司的热原油转化为化学品的技术，将S-OIL的重点从石油转向化学品，以使该公司在未来的能源市场占据更有利的地位。
沙特阿美海外公司是韩国第三大炼油商S-Oil的主要股东。
沙特阿美公司于1991年首次投资S-Oil，两家公司关系继续加强，炼油产能从1990年的9万桶/天增加到2018年的约70万桶/天。

“Today’s inauguration marks a historic moment for both S-Oil and Saudi Aramco. S-Oil serves as a role model for Saudi Aramco’s international downstream strategy and plays an important role by providing the vital energy needed for economic growth in South Korea. These two new facilities will supply high-value products to major Korean industries, whose global brands are part of our everyday lives and rank among the world’s very best in technology, innovation, creativity, and quality,” said Saudi Aramco President and CEO Amin H. Nasser.
The inauguration also included the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the two companies to collaborate This new agreement supports Saudi Aramco’s plan to increase its global petrochemicals footprint over the next decade. It will further include the deployment of Saudi Aramco’s Thermal Crude-to-Chemicals Technology, shifting S-OIL’s focus from oil to chemicals to better position the company in the future energy market.
Aramco Overseas Company is a major shareholder in S-Oil which is South Korea’s third-largest refiner.
Saudi Aramco initially invested in S-Oil in 1991, and their relationship continues to grow stronger, with the refining capacity increasing from 90 000 bpd in 1990 to roughly 700 000 bpd in 2018.
