据悉,泰国能源巨头PTT已经确认沙特阿美退出了投资200亿美元的越南炼油和石化合资项目。合作方于2014年向越南政府提交了这个位于平定省被称之为Victory Project项目的具体的可研报告。按原计划,PTT和沙特阿美预计各持有该项目40%股权,越南国内的一个合作伙伴持有剩余20%股权。PTT表示,由于没有寻找到越南国内的合作伙伴,沙特阿美在2016年7月1日起正式退出该项目。
PTT告诉《美国化学周刊》,该项目初始的配置是包括一座40万桶/天的炼油厂,一套设计年产140万吨烯烃的石脑油裂解装置以及合计石化产能达到500万吨/年的下游工厂。

Aramco pulls out of Vietnam refinery, petchems JV

Thailand’s energy major PTT Public Company Ltd. (Bangkok), has confirmed that Saudi Aramco, its joint venture partner in a $20-billion refinery and petrochemicals project in Vietnam, has decided to pull out of the project. The partners in 2014 submitted a joint detailed feasibility study to the government of Vietnam for the project, dubbed the Victory Project, to be based in Binh Dinh Province. Each of the partners was expected to hold 40% in the project and a local Vietnamese partner was expected to hold the remaining 20%. Inability to find a local partner has prompted Aramco to withdraw from the project, which it quit on 1 July 2016, PTT says.
The Victory project’s original configuration included a 400,000-barrel/day oil refinery, a naphtha cracker designed to produce 1.4 million m.t./year of olefins, and a downstream complex with a combined capacity of 5 million m.t./year of petrochemicals, PTT tells CW.
