SABIC was established in 1976 to
add value to Saudi Arabia's natural hydrocarbon resources. Today
we are among the leading international petrochemical companies in
terms of sales and product diversity. Headquartered in Riyadh, we
are also the Middle East's largest non-oil industrial company.
Our businesses are grouped into five core sectors: Basic
Chemicals, Intermediates, Polymers, Fertilizers and Metals. Each
sector consists of several Strategic Business Units (SBUs) that
are entirely dedicated to the customers they serve. Our
manufacturing network in Saudi Arabia consists of 18 world-scale
industrial complexes operated by 16 affiliates. (2000年に1社追加） Most of these affiliates are based in
Jubail Industrial City on the Arabian Gulf. Two are located in
Yanbu Industrial City on the Red Sea and one in the Eastern
Province city of Dammam. We are also partners in three regional
ventures based in Bahrain.
The vision that led to our creation was closely associated with
the aspirations of Saudi Arabia as a developing nation. We
continue to play an important role in achieving some of those
aspirations, including the development of the country's human
resources. We are also committed to Saudi social and cultural
values and international business and environmental standards.
SABIC is owned by the Saudi Government (70%) and the private
sector (30%). Private sector
shareholders are from Saudi Arabia and other countries of the
six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).

SABIC Completes Expansion Projects To Increase Polyethylene Production
http://www.saudiembassy.net/publications/newsletter2000/11-h.html
The company completed a 300 million U.S. dollar expansion project in March to double the production of styrene at Saudi Petrochemical Company (Sadaf) in Jubail along the Arabian Gulf. The plant, part of the Sadaf complex that also manufactures ethylene, MTBE, caustic soda and industrial ethanol, was built in 1985 and produced 560,000 tons per year (tpy) of styrene before the expansion. The plant now produces 1.1 million tons per year of styrene, making it the largest single-plant producer in the world.
Expansion at two other SABIC plants, Kemya and Sharq, was also completed recently. These two plants produce polyethylene and the expansion projects raised production by 635,000 tpy.
Another SABIC plant that has undergone expansion this year is Yanpet, located at the Yanbu Industrial City along the Red Sea. Capacity at this plant has been increased almost three-fold to 1.85 million tpy of polyethylene. A new polyethylene plant has also been built at Yanpet, adding another 268,000 tpy of polyethylene production to the complex.

IBN HAYYAN PLASTIC PRODUCTS (Tayf) 上記
TAYF is a part of the petrochemicals concern Sabic. TAYF was established in 1996, with Sabic's (Saudi Basic Industries Corporation's) joint venture affiliate, Bin Hayyan (National Plastic Company), taking a 51% stake. Other partners in TAYF are the Saudi Industrial and Commercial Agencies Company (37%), the Saudi Industries Development Company (Tatweer) 10% and the Saudi Ceramic Company (2%).
PROJECT MAKE-UP
Sabic's affiliate, Ibn-Hayyan Plastic Products Company (TAYF), began the final procedure to commence construction of its plant in Jubail in late 1997. The TAYF plant will produce a variety of plastic products using as feedstock PVC resins supplied by National Plastics Company (Ibn-Hayyan) and diocthyl phtalate (DOP) produced by Al-Jubail Fertiliser Company (Samad). These plants are also located at Al Jubail Industrial City. TAYF products will be marketed in the domestic market to meet the increasing demands for industrial and consumer durable plastics.
TAYF annual production will consists of 3,200 tonnes of wall covering products, 18,000 tonnes of floor covering products, 7,800 tonnes of artificial leather products, 24,000 tonnes of cellular sheets used in the manufacture of building construction and signboards, 10,000 tonnes of soft films and sheet, 10,000 tonnes of rigid films and packaging, and 2,000 tonnes of book binding products. The project has a total investment of SR930m ($85 million), of which the Saudi Industrial Development Funds (SIDF) and local commercial banks have provided 75%. Sabic will market TAYF products, 40% of which will be sold in the domestic market.
TAYF, which is a part of Sabic, has awarded the contract to Stork Alpha Engineering, Netherlands, for the design, project management, materials procurement, and supervision for the construction of a PVC products plant at Jubail Industrial City in Saudi Arabia. Stork's part in the $85m project was worth $8.5m. Stork focused on the entire chain of project management, design, purchase of materials, supervision during construction and commissioning. Stork was in charge of offshore engineering and procurement for the project and Alpha will take care of onshore activities.

Saudi petchem giant SABIC plots global growth strategy
Saudi Arabia's state-owned SABIC is embracing globalization as the basis of its long-term growth strategy, according to Nasser Al-Sayyari, president of SABIC's Basic Chemical Division, who spoke Monday at the NPRA IPC. Referring to the Sep 11 terrorist attacks and the current economic slump, Al-Sayyari said, "what we are seeing now is the downside of globalization". But there is still a larger upside, he noted. "International trade has become recognized as the driver of prosperity," he said. Accordingly, SABIC has mapped out a course for expanding beyond the Middle East and into Asia and Europe, as evidenced by its active exports to China and its current negotiations for acquiring Enichem.

Ma'aden and SABIC sign strategic partnership agreement
Dr. Abdullah Ibn Issa Al-Dabbagh, President and CEO of Ma'aden, and Mohamed
Al-Mady, Vice-Chairman and CEO of SABIC today signed an agreement
opening the way for the two companies to create a strategic joint
venture in a phosphate minerals project.
Total
capital investment in the project is SR13 billion. SABIC will have a
thirty percent (30%) equity
share with the seventy percent (70%) balance of ownership being
retained by Ma'aden. The project aims to utilize phosphate
reserves in the north of Saudi Arabia to produce phosphate
fertilizers in the Minerals Industrial City at Ras Az Zawr
The
phosphate ore reserves in the North of the country will be
surface mined and have an estimated mineable resources of 1.6
billion tonnes in addition to further resources of 1.5 billion
tonnes.
Ma'aden was established as a Saudi Arabian joint stock company in March 1997 under Royal Decree Number M/17. Its purpose is to facilitate the development of Saudi Arabia’s non-petroleum mineral resources and to diversify the Kingdom’s economy away from the petroleum and petrochemical sectors. Ma’aden engages in the development, advancement and improvement of all aspects of the mineral industry, mineral products and by-products and related industries in Saudi Arabia. It encourages private sector participation in the development and production of all types of minerals, either independently or in joint ventures with foreign companies.
New contract for mega size ammonia plant in Saudi Arabia
Samsung Engineering Co., Ltd. of Seoul has commissioned Uhde to provide the licence and comprehensive engineering and supply services as part of a major plant contract for the engineering and construction of a turnkey ammonia plant. The contract, worth the equivalent of some US$950 million, was awarded to Samsung Engineering Co., Ltd. in South Korea by Ma'aden, the Saudi Arabian Mining Company.
The ammonia plant will form part of one of the world's largest fully integrated fertiliser production operations - a joint venture project between Ma'aden and Saudi Arabian Basic Industries Corp. (SABIC) to mine world-scale phosphate reserves in the north of the country to produce fertilisers at the new purpose-built processing facility in Ras Az Zawr, some 400km north-east of the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh. The facility will also comprise a sulphuric acid plant, a phosphoric acid plant and two diammonium phosphate plants. The project, including the ammonia plant, is due for completion in late 2010.
Uhde's scope of services includes the process licence and basic engineering as well as the supply of special equipment for a single-train ammonia plant, which, with a production capacity of 3,300 tonnes per day, will be one of the world's biggest. For Uhde, the contract is worth a sum in the three-figure millions of euros.

SABIC & Shell progress on plans for
expansion at Sadaf joint venture
Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) and Shell announced today that they
are progressing plans for the expansion of various projects at the Saudi
Petrochemical Company (Sadaf). The joint venture partners are also looking to
expand their partnership beyond Saudi Arabia.
Both parties are developing
a full range of polyols
(a polyurethane building block) and styrene monomer
propylene oxide (SMPO) plants at the existing Sadaf site, which is
located in one of the world’s largest and most competitive petrochemical
complexes – the Al Jubail industrial zone on Saudi Arabia’s eastern coast. SABIC
and Shell will jointly conduct the necessary studies to implement the project.
The proposed full range of polyols and SMPO plants would be the first of their
kind in the Middle East. The assets would employ Shell’s proprietary polyols and
SMPO technologies to produce chemical building blocks for the polyurethanes
industry and petrochemicals sector in the Middle East and beyond. The partners
are committed to the polyurethanes, styrene, propylene oxide and derivatives
sectors, and have access to leading technologies as major international
suppliers.
Shell chemicals companies are among the leading suppliers of polyether polyols, with a product range and global reach unrivalled by most of our competitors. We support our high quality CARADOL* polyether polyols with professional sales staff, specialist technical services for key customers, and advice on health, safety and environment issues.
CARADOL polyether polyols are derived from propylene oxide. They are organic materials with two or more alcohol end-groups (OH) and sometimes with micrometer polymer particles present in suspension. When polyether polyols and isocyanates are reacted together they form polyurethanes.CARADOL polyether polyols are available in a wide range of molecular weights and it is this variety which gives rise to a wide range of processing and application possibilities.

Saudi Arabia’s Sabic Considering Shale Gas
Investments in U.S.
Saudi Basic Industries Corp., the world’s second-biggest chemicals manufacturer,
plans to expand investment in U.S. shale gas projects through joint ventures,
according to acting Chief Executive Officer Yousef al Benyan.
Sabic, as the company is known, signed an agreement with Houston, Texas-based
Enterprise Products Partners L.P. to get shale gas,
al-Benyan said in an interview in Riyadh. The company may use the feedstock in
the U.S. or export it to other countries such as the U.K., he said. Sabic has
converted crackers at U.K. plants to use shale gas as feedstock to produce
olefins and their derivatives more competitively.
“The main areas in the U.S. we are looking to
invest in are the northeast and the south as they fit our overall expectations
including government support, labor laws and unions,” al-Benyan said. “At this
point we are not looking to acquire any U.S. companies.”
Sabic, which in 2007 bought General Electric Co.’s plastics unit for $11.6
billion, said in April it plans to expand in China and the U.S. because it’s
difficult for the company to grow in Saudi Arabia due to a shortage of gas. The
Marcellus shale formation spread across Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio is
America’s biggest natural gas producer, with output rising more than 14-fold
since January 2007.
Sabic won’t be directly involved in Saudi Arabia’s shale production, he said.
The discovery of shale gas in the country will “open up some opportunities for
indirect investments for Sabic,” al-Benyan said.

Abdullah Al-Benyan said that his company has plans to expand investment in the
US shale gas projects through joint ventures.
SABIC had signed an agreement with Houston, Texas-based Enterprise Products

States and export it to other countries, including the UK.
SABIC has converted crackers at the UK plants to use shale gas as feedstock to
produce olefins and their derivatives more competitively.
He also pointed out that SABIC will not directly involve in the Kingdom’s shale
production. He hoped that the discovery of shale gas in the country will pave
the way for opportunities for indirect investments for SABIC.

Saudi Aramco, SABIC launch bidding at key chemical project
Saudi Aramco and Saudi Basic Industries Corp (SABIC) have launched bidding for
engineering work on their joint crude oil to chemicals project, industry sources
said, a key step towards developing the $20-billion-plus complex.
The project, known as COTC, the first major scheme
to bring the two giants together, is expected to process Arabian Light and Extra
Light crude oil, one of the sources told Reuters.
Several plants are expected to be built including a
400,000-barrels-per-day integrated crude distillation and vacuum unit,
a distillate hydrotreater, a vacuum gas oil hydrocracker,
a residual fluid catalytic cracking unit, a mixed feed cracker, as well
as polyethylene, polypropylene, butadiene and aromatics
recovery units.
Aramco and SABIC are still considering where to locate the chemicals site; at
Yanbu, near a power plant; or in Jubail, close to Sadara, which is an Aramco
joint venture with U.S. company Dow Chemical.
The closing date for bids for pre-front end engineering and design work
(pre-FEED) and FEED for the COTC is Sept. 25, one of the sources said, adding
that the plant is expected to be commissioned by the end of 2024.
Another source said pre-FEED is expected to be completed by late 2018, with FEED
to be finalised by late 2019. Aramco and SABIC are expected to launch bidding
for construction by mid-2020.
SABIC did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Aramco said
it “declines to comment on rumor or speculation”.
Aramco’s chief executive has said it was a priority for the company to convert
crude oil to chemicals as the state oil producer aims to diversify operations in
the run-up to an initial public offering of shares next year.
Downstream, which covers refining and chemicals, will help Aramco boost value
from hydrocarbons by securing revenue streams and become less vulnerable to oil
price swings.
LESS GAS
Analysts say the project will help reduce natural gas usage in petrochemicals at
a time when the kingdom is trying to use more gas to generate power, rather than
burning crude oil, as it seeks to diversify its energy mix.
“What is new and different is that the prices of crude and gasoline/diesel have
come down more than petrochemicals. This makes the incentive to produce
petrochemicals greater than to make gasoline and diesel,” Mark Routt, chief
economist for the Americas at KBC Advanced Technologies, said.
“It certainly could usher in a new ’wave’ of investments in producing those
petrochemicals,” he said.
The project is strategic for Saudi Arabia, which plans to expand further into
the petrochemical chain to export more end products and grow beyond oil.
It is also crucial for Saudi Arabia's economic reform plan and could create as
many as 100,000 jobs.
SABIC's CEO told Reuters in May that COTC could produce more than 18 million
tonnes of materials yearly.

SABIC announces intention to merge
Sadaf with Petrokemya
AS part of its strategic transformation plan and to increase efficiency
and competiveness of all its global operations, SABIC announced on
Wednesday its intention to merge two of its manufacturing affiliates,
Saudi Petrochemical Company (Sadaf) and Arabian Petrochemical Company (Petrokemya).
This step has come as part of the company’s transformation program,
which was initiated three years ago to enhance agility across all its
operations.
All assets, rights, liabilities and obligations of Sadaf will be
transferred to Petrokemya. Subject to regulatory approvals,
Petrokemya will continue to exist, while
Sadaf will cease to exist as a legal entity. The merger process is
scheduled to be completed in the second half of 2019.
With the merger, SABIC seeks to create a more efficient platform to
optimize assets and unlock value from the synergies between the two
companies’ product streams. It is also expected to create more effective
and streamlined operations, maintenance and project execution.
Sadaf, a limited-liability company based in Jubail, produces ethylene,
styrene, caustic soda, MTBE, and ethanol. It operates six petrochemical
plants with a total production capacity of more than 4 million metric
tons per year, besides a cogeneration power station.
Petrokemya, also a limited liability company in Jubail, produces
ethylene, propylene, butene, benzene, butadiene, polystyrene,
polyethylene and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.
