IRAN NGL 3100 PROJECT
According to the international
commitments for reduction of greenhouse gases and the approval of Ministry of Petroleum,
National Iranian Oil Company was (commissioned) ordered to collect oil gases and use them as
feedstock in petrochemical industries. In this regard many projects were defined. One of the
most important projects was Dehloran NGL3100. In this project a refinery plant will be constructed
which will sweeten the oil gas. This product will be then delivered to Dehloran petrochemical.
By completing this project major part of the gases burnt in Dehloran oil field will be collected.
While creating an added value, it helps prevent the release of these gases in the atmosphere.
As the fifth NGL plant, NGL 3100, is currently under construction by OIEC. The project is defined
to reach the optimal recovery of C2+ product associated with gas of North Dezful oilfields. This
project includes a high-pressure electrical power grid consisting of transmission lines, stations,
feed and product pipelines. NGL 3100 will collect and process associated petroleum gas from oilfields
in Ilam and Dezful, and is supposed to be fed with as much as 6 million cubic meters of gas per day.
CHILE Quebrada Blanca Phrase 2
Bechtel, a global leader in engineering,
procurement and construction, has received approval from Teck to proceed with the
expansion of the Quebrada Blanca copper mine in Chile, comprising a143,000
tonnes-per-day copper concentrator, a high-capacity desalination plant,
and a 165-kilometer water supply pipeline.
The Quebrada Blanca Phase 2 project (QB2) is located in the northern Chilean Andes,
4,300 meters above sea level and approximately 145 kilometers from the Pacific Ocean.
Bechtel will be responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction
management (EPCM). First production is targeted for the second half of 2021 and
QB2 is expected to generate 316,000 tonnes of copper-equivalent production per year
for the first five full years of mine life.
MACEDON GAS FIELD PROJECT
The Macedon gas project
develops natural gas from the Macedon field in production
lease WA-42-L for Western Australia’s domestic gas market.
The project comprises a pipeline from subsea production wells to an onshore gas processing facility, located in the Ashburton North Strategic Industrial Area (ANSIA), approximately 17 kilometres southwest of Onslow. After the gas is processed, it is transferred via a sales gas pipeline to the Dampier to Bunbury Natural GasPipeline (DBNGP, Figure 1).
The Macedon field is expected to provide for about 20% of Western Australia’s daily gas supply to the domestic consumers and industry until 2033.
NLiwa Plastic Industries Complex Project
LIWA Plastics Industries Complex (LPIC) project is one of state-owned Oman Oil Refineries and Petroleum Industries Company (ORPIC) strategic growth project to fulfil its vision of building an Omani integrated refining and petrochemical business. A joint venture between CB&I and CTCI Corporation was awarded Engineering, Procurement and Construction Package EPC1 of the LPIC project worth 2.8 billion USD. The scope of work includes EPC for a grassroots 880-ktpa ethylene plant, pygas unit and MTBE unit, as well as all the related off-sites and utilities. CB&I & CTCI’ s scope of work also includes the construction of cryogenic and atmospheric storage tanks and pipe spool fabrication.
The LPIC is part of the government’s plans to diversify income sources and enhance infrastructure as one of the investment projects in the petrochemicals industry that aims to boost the value of natural resources in the Sultanate of Oman.
The primary goal of Liwa Plastics Industries Complex is to further increase the value-added that can be derived from natural gas. The project aims to boost the infrastructure sector by adding 838000t/yr of polyethylene (PE) and about 300000 t/yr of polypropylene (PP) , raising total production of both products in the country to 1.4mn t/yr from around 1mn t/yr.
The project has several core components including a natural gas extraction plant in Fahud, 300km pipeline Fahud-Suhar Industrial Port Area for gas transportation and an 800+kTA Steam Cracker Unit.
RAPID UIO Project 14Package
The proposed Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development (RAPID) project located in the state of Johor, Malaysia, aims at building a world-scale integrated refinery and petrochemical complex to answer the growing need for specialty chemicals and to meet the demand for petroleum and commodity petrochemical products in the Asia Pacific region.
The project was developed by a joint venture (JV) of Malaysian oil and gas company Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas) and Saudi Aramco, which is the national oil company of Saudi Arabia.
Parque das Baleias Offshore Oil and Gas Complex Project
Parque das Baleias, also known as the Whale Park, is a cluster of seven deep-water oil and gas fields in the northern Campos Basin, offshore Espírito Santo, Brazil.
Owned and operated by state-controlled Petrobras, the Parque das Baleias area includes the Jubarte, Baleia Azul, Baleia Franca, Baleia Anã, Cachalote, Caxaréu and the Pirambú fields that have both pre-salt and post-salt reserves. The area is estimated to hold more than two billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) recoverable reserves.
The current aggregate production from the Parque das Baleias cluster is estimated to be 222,000 barrels of oil and six million cubic metres (mcm) of gas per day. The offshore field complex with a total of four floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) units, reached the cumulative production of one billion barrel of oil equivalent (boe) in May 2020.
The Agencia Nacional do Petroleo (ANP) and Petrobras signed a unification agreement to create the New Jubarte field comprising the Baleia Azul, Baleia Franca, and the Jubarte fields as well as portions of the Cachalote, Caxaréu, Mangangá, and Pirambu fields in April 2020. ANP also decided to extend the production phase of the New Jubarte Field by an additional 27 years until 2056, as part of the agreement.
