據(jù)阿塞拜疆新聞7月24日消息稱，據(jù)當(dāng)?shù)孛襟w7月22日報(bào)道，土耳其競爭委員會已批準(zhǔn)SOCAR和英國石油公司成立一家石化行業(yè)的合資企業(yè)。

此前有報(bào)道稱，SOCAR和BP已向土耳其相關(guān)機(jī)構(gòu)申請?jiān)?020年4月成立一家聯(lián)合石化公司，名為水星綜合設(shè)施。

回想一下，2018年12月20日，SOCAR和BP簽署了合同原則，以評估在土耳其建立一個(gè)世界級的石化綜合設(shè)施并建立合資企業(yè)以管理該綜合設(shè)施的計(jì)劃。

新的石化綜合設(shè)施的建設(shè)預(yù)計(jì)將使土耳其每年能夠彌補(bǔ)60億美元的經(jīng)常賬戶赤字。

此外，該項(xiàng)目將使SOCAR在土耳其石化市場的份額提高到35- 40%。

該綜合設(shè)施的建設(shè)計(jì)劃在本年度開始，以便在2023-2025年投入運(yùn)營。但是，由于低油價(jià)和COVID-19大流行，項(xiàng)目的實(shí)施推遲到2021年。

水星綜合設(shè)施將建在佩金石化廠和阿利亞加地區(qū)的STAR煉油廠附近。該企業(yè)將生產(chǎn)125萬噸純對苯二甲酸（PTA）、84萬噸對二甲苯（PX）、34萬噸苯。

PTA是聚酯生產(chǎn)中的主要原料，可由其衍生出飲料和食品容器、包裝材料、照片和膠片以及其他消費(fèi)品和工業(yè)產(chǎn)品。

SOCAR, BP to start new petrochemical project in Turkey

The Turkish Competition Council has given permission to SOCAR and BP to establish a joint venture that will operate in the petrochemical sector, local media reported on July 22.

Earlier it was reported that SOCAR and BP applied to the relevant institutions in Turkey to establish a joint petrochemical company, which will be called Mercury complex, in April 2020.

Recall that on December 20, 2018 SOCAR and BP signed contractual principles for evaluation of plans for creation a world-class petrochemical complex in Turkey and establishment of a joint venture to manage it.

The construction of the new petrochemical complex is expected to enable Turkey to cover the current account deficit by $6 billion annually.

Moreover, the project will increase the share of SOCAR in petrochemical market of Turkey to 35-40 percent.

Construction of the complex was planned to begin during the current year in order to put the enterprise into operation in 2023-2025. However, due to low oil prices and to the COVID-19 pandemic, the project implementation has been postponed until 2021.

The Mercury complex will be built near the Petkim petrochemical complex and the STAR refinery in Aliaga region. The enterprise will produce 1.25 million tons of purified terephthalic acid (PTA), 840 thousand tons of paraxylene (PX), 340 thousand tons of benzene.

PTA is the main raw material in the production of polyester from which beverage and food containers, packaging materials, photo and film and other consumer and industrial goods are derived.
