據TABNI網站5月 13日馬斯喀特報道，由阿曼石油公司和Orpic集團合并組成的阿曼能源巨頭OQ宣布啟動利瓦塑料工業聯合體(LPIC)的調試階段，這是一個投資67億美元的大型石化項目。

位于蘇哈爾港的利瓦塑料工業聯合體在距離Fahud大約300公里的地方有一個上游天然氣開采(NGL)項目，這是OQ的招牌投資項目。

在滿負荷生產的情況下，利瓦塑料工業聯合體將把OQ的聚乙烯和聚丙烯產量提高到140萬噸。

利瓦塑料工業聯合體的產品組合將包括線性低密度聚乙烯(LLDPE)、高密度聚乙烯(HDPE)和聚丙烯(PP)。產品結構的改進有助于OQ的合作伙伴滿足全球對創新聚合物不斷增長的需求。

除了最大限度地增加阿曼碳氫化合物財富的價值外，這個大型項目還將在一系列廣泛的下游活動中產生投資。

利瓦塑料工業聯合體的蒸汽裂解項目將使聚乙烯首次在阿曼生產，并加強OQ的聚丙烯產能。

Oman's $6.7bn petchem project enters commissioning phase

Energy powerhouse OQ (formerly Oman Oil and Orpic Group) has announced the launch of the commissioning phase of Liwa Plastics Industries Complex (LPIC), a giant petrochemicals project being set up at an investment of $6.7 billion.

This transformational project will firmly put the Sultanate on the global petrochemicals map and enhance OQ, stated the Oman Observer, citing the wholly government-owned energy conglomerate in a tweet.

At full capacity, Liwa Plastics will boost OQ’s production of polyethylene and polypropylene to 1.4 million tonnes.

The product portfolio will include linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Polypropylene (PP). The improvement of the product mix helps OQ’s partners to address the growing global demand for innovative polymers.

In addition to maximizing value addition to the nation’s hydrocarbon wealth, the mega venture will also spawn investments in a wide array of downstream activities.

The LPIC steam cracker project will allow polyethylene (PE) to be produced in Oman for the first time, as well as strengthen the company’s polypropylene capabilities.
