据ICIS网站6月8日消息 印度石油公司（IOC）周一晚间表示，公司已与古吉拉特邦政府签署协议，将投资约2400亿卢布（33亿美元），在位于瓦达多拉的印度石油公司炼油厂建立新的石化项目。
印度石油公司在一份声明中称，这包括古吉拉特邦炼油厂的一个石油化工和润滑油一体化（LuPech）项目、一个丙烯酸/氧代醇项目和其他基础设施项目。
LuPech项目将生产润滑油基础油（LOBS）和聚丙烯（PP）等进口替代品。
杜马德和古吉拉特邦炼油厂的丙烯酸/氧代醇项目将生产丙烯酸丁酯，丙烯酸丁酯是油漆、涂料、粘合剂和纺织化学品的关键原料。
该公司没有列出预计何时完成新生产设施的时间表。
印度石油公司表示：“这些项目将加强公司在未来涉足聚氯乙烯（PVC）、苯乙烯、丙烯腈（ACN）、聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯（PMMA）和环氧乙烷等石化项目的准备。”
古吉拉特邦政府和印度石油公司还签署了杜马德基础设施协议，其中包括一个直链烷基苯（LAB）罐车装载设施，直链烷基苯是洗涤剂应用的原料。
其他基础设施项目包括古吉拉特邦炼油厂的新火炬系统和燃料电池电动汽车（FCEV）的氢气分配设施。
印度石油公司主席Shri SM Vaidya表示，随着新设施的增加，古吉拉特邦炼油厂的总产能预计将增长至1800万吨/年，这比目前的430万吨/年有所提高。
印度石油公司表示：“这些项目在不同执行阶段的总投资前景约为2400亿卢布。”

Indian Oil Corp to invest around $3.3bn in new projects at Gujarat refinery
Indian Oil Corp (IOC) has signed an agreement with the Gujarat government to invest around Indian rupee (Rs) 240bn ($3.3bn) to set up new petrochemical projects at the IOC refinery in Vadadora, the state-owned producer said late This includes a petrochemical and lube integration (LuPech) project, an acrylics/oxo-alcohol project and other infrastructure projects at the Gujarat refinery, it said in a statement.
The LuPech project will produce import substitutes like lube oil base stock (LOBS) and polypropylene (PP).
The acrylics/oxo-alcohol project at Dumad and Gujarat Refinery will produce butyl acrylate, a key ingredient for paints, coatings, adhesives and textile chemicals.
The company did not outline a timeline as to when it expects to complete the new production facilities.
"These projects will strengthen the Corporation's [IOC's] readiness for venturing into petrochemical projects like PVC [polyvinyl chloride], styrene, acrylonitrile [ACN], polymethyl methacrylate [PMMA] and ethylene oxide in future," IOC said.
The Gujarat government and IOC also signed an agreement for infrastructure facilities at Dumad, which includes a tank truck loading facility for linear alkyl benzene (LAB), which is a feedstock for detergent applications.
Other infrastructure projects include a new flare system at the Gujarat refinery and a hydrogen dispensing facility for Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV).
Overall production capacity at the Gujarat refinery is expected to grow to 18m tonnes/year with the addition of the new facilities, according to IOC chairman Shri SM Vaidya. This is up from the current 4.3m tonnes/year.
"The total investment outlook for these projects in different execution stages is approximately Rs240bn," IOC added.
