石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社3月13日休斯顿报道，马来西亚国家石油公司（Petronas）的一位高级官员表示，该公司预计将于4月开始从其新的炼油 – 石油化工厂提供石油产品，该项目将于10月份实现全面商业化生产。 由于试运行仍在进行中，最初的产品还不符合商业规格，Petronas执行副总裁兼下游首席执行官Arif Mahmood在休斯顿举行的CERAWeek能源 会议期间表示。 “我们认为该项目将成为补充该地区增长的必要条件，”他早些时候在会议上表示。 Arif称，耗资270亿美元的Pengerang综合设施在五年内完工。Petronas和沙特阿美石油公司共同拥有日产量为30万桶的炼油厂。 包括其在Pengerang炼油厂的股权计算在内，Petronas的炼油产能将达到每日70万桶，而其石化产量将从目前的1270万吨增长至每年1460万吨，他说。预计这家石油化工厂将于3月底开工。 Arif表示，新炼油厂的燃料生产将平衡马来西亚的汽油供需，并允许其从新炼油厂出口柴油。 他说，当国际海事组织（IMO）于2020年开始实施新的燃料法规时，该公司还准备对石油进行“更多混合”，以满足托运人对低硫石油的需求。 “对于国际海事组织来说，我们将进行更多的混合，我们将看到航运业的发展方向。我们鼓励人们改用液化天然气，“Arif表示。 他预计船舶将从10月起开始寻找低硫燃料。 他说，Petronas将继续在南非的Engen炼油厂生产高硫燃料油。 “我们会在一些市场找到需求，并进行混合，”Arif说，并补充说，Petronas还可以利用其在南苏丹和乍得的重质低硫原油生产来混合燃料。 李方征 编译自 路透社 原文如下： Petronas to start offering oil products from new refinery in April Malaysia’s state energy firm Petronas expects to start offering oil products from its new refining-petrochemical complex in April as the project moves toward full commercial production in October, a senior company official said. The initial products would not meet commercial specification yet as trial runs are still under way, Arif Mahmood, Petronas’ executive vice president and CEO of downstream, said on the sidelines of the CERAWeek energy conference in Houston. “We see the project as something that will be needed to complement growth in the region,” he told the conference earlier. The $27 billion Pengerang Integrated Complex was completed in five years, Arif said. Petronas and Saudi Aramco jointly own the refining complex which has a capacity of 300,000 barrels per day (bpd). Petronas’ refining capacity will reach 700,000 bpd after including its equity stake in the Pengerang complex, while its petrochemical production will grow to 14.6 million tonnes per year (tpy) from 12.7 million tpy currently, he said. The petrochemical complex is expected to start up by late March. Fuel production from the new refinery will balance Malaysia’s gasoline supply and demand, and will allow it to export diesel from the new refinery, Arif said. The company also is prepared to do “a lot more blending” of oil to meet demand for low-sulphur oil from shippers when new fuel regulations by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) start in 2020, he said. “For IMO, we’ll do a lot more blending and we’ll see where the shipping industry goes. We’re encouraging people to convert to LNG (liquefied natural gas),” Arif said. He expects ships to start looking for low-sulphur fuel from October. Petronas will continue to produce high-sulphur fuel oil at its Engen refinery in South Africa, he said. “We’ll find demand in some markets and we’ll blend,” Arif said, adding that Petronas could also tap its heavy sweet crude production in South Sudan and Chad to blend with fuels.
