Delegations from Rosneft and ChemChina visited FEPCO’s oil refining construction site near Yelizarov Cape, and were presented with a progress review of the project. This visit follows the signing of a memorandum of understanding regarding the probable acquisition of controlling stake in FEPCO by ChemChina.
Phase one of the plant is expected to refine 12 million tpy and produce 8.5 million t of engine fuels, with the second phase boosting output to 3.4 million tpy, as well as securing 3 million t of petrochemical products. Preliminary investment required for this is estimated to be RUB660 billion, including VAT.
Igor Sechin, Chairman of Rosneft Management Board, said: “The company is interested in attracting a strategic partner on the project. We estimate our partnership with the Chinese partners regarding ongoing joint projects positively. We expect further development of this mutually beneficial cooperation with ChemChina.”
