石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据OGJ网站8月21日休斯敦报道，美国贸易与发展署（USTDA）日前把一笔赠款授予了私有埃科石油和炼油有限公司（EPRC）对将在尼日利亚拉各斯托马罗岛上建造的2万桶/天模块化炼油厂进行可行性研究来推荐技术和制定实施计划。 根据来自美国贸易与发展署和尼日利亚新闻机构的不同新闻稿，EPRC将使用USTDA提供的100万美元赠款来资助这个可行性研究。可行性研究将提供推进这个项目所需的详细工程设计和技术分析。 USTDA说，EPRC已经选定了总部设在休斯顿的VFuels有限责任公司来执行这项可行性研究。 EPRC董事长艾曼纽尔说，该公司已完成前期工程设计以及对拟议的1.16亿美元的模块化炼油厂的环境影响评估。这个项目将要求2.5亿美元的总现金投资，EPRC打算从借款、股权投资和潜在私人投资者那里筹集这笔资金。 艾曼纽尔说，一旦可行性研究完成，EPRC下一步将向尼日利亚石油资源部(DPR)申请批准建设许可证以及所有剩下的监管批准来推动这个项目向前发展。 李峻 编译自 OGJ 原文如下： US grant to support development of Nigerian grassroots refinery The US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) has awarded a grant to privately held Eko Petrochem & Refining Co. Ltd. (EPRC) for a feasibility study to recommend technologies and develop an implementation plan for a 20,000-b/d modular refinery to be built on Tomaro Island in Lagos, Nigeria. EPRC will use the $1-million grant to fund the feasibility study, which will provide detailed engineering design and technical analyses required to advance the proposed project, according to separate releases from USTDA and the News Agency of Nigeria. EPRC already has selected VFuels LLC, Houston, to execute the study, USTDA said. While EPRC already has completed front-end engineering design and the environmental impact assessment for the proposed $116-million modular facility, the project will require an overall cash investment of about $250 million, which the company intends to raise from borrowing, equity investment, and potential private investors, said EPRC Chairman Emmanuel Ihenacho. With the feasibility study scheduled to be completed soon, EPRC will next apply for an approval-to-construct permit from Nigeria’s Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), as well as all remaining regulatory approvals to move the project forward, Ihenacho said.
