A joint venture of the Saudi Arabian Oil Co. and Sumitomo Chemical is seeking about $8 billion of loans to fund its expansion, according to two people familiar with the plan.
The financing for Saudi Arabia’s Rabigh Refining & Petrochemicals Co., known as Petro Rabigh, includes about $2 billion to $2.5 billion of 16-year bank loans in dollars and riyals, said the people.
Petro Rabigh said in September its founders were seeking loans to expand its ethane cracker and build a new naphtha and aromatics complex.
The remaining funding will be raised from Saudi Arabia’s state-owned Public Investment Fund and the Japan Bank for International Cooperation, according to the people. HSBC Holdings and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. are advising Petro Rabigh on the financing, they said.
