China's Liaoning (遼寧) gets nod for C2
expansion, PVC project
Liaoning
United Chemical has received preliminary approval from the
Chinese government for its integrated cracker expansion and
polyvinyl chloride (PVC) project in Liaoning, China,
according to a Panjin government official.
The Chinese company has proposed expanding the cracker of one
of its shareholders, Panjin Ethylene Industry Corp (盤錦 Peic), to 400 000 tonne/year
from 160 000 tonne/year. The company will also double its polyethylene (PE)
capacity to 250 000 tonne/year, and build a 120 000
tonne/year polypropylene (PP) facility and a new 400 000
tonne/year PVC unit.
The integrated cracker-PVC project is one of 100 projects in northeast China
approved by the government recently in a move intended to
revitalise ageing industries in the area.
Liaoning
hopes to invite Sabic as a joint-venture partner. Sabic has confirmed
its interest in the project and plans to complete its due
diligence on the project by mid-2004.
The planned PVC unit in Huludao would be integrated with a 450 000 tonne/year
vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) plant. An ethylene dichloride
(EDC) unit will also be built and will obtain
ethylene feedstock from the expanded cracker in Panjin.

China's Fuling
Group planning 300 kt/yr PP in Zhejiang
The Zhejiang
Shaoxing Fuling Group plans to build two 300 000 tonne/year polypropylene (PP)
units,
company sources said sister publication Asian Chemical News. The
plants are to be built in Zhejiang, China. 浙江
The project,
which has been approved by the Chinese government, will be built
in the Shaoxing Paojiang Industrial Zone in two phases. The first
unit will be brought onstream in 2005 and the second in 2007.
Shaoxing Fuling is pursuing the Rmb2bn ($241.6m/Euro191.9)
project alone. It recently formed a subsidiary, Shaoxing Sanyuan
Petrochemical Co, to operate the project.
However, one of the company sources said that Shaoxing Fuling was
open to bringing in a joint-venture partner. Shaoxing Fuling
plans to use
Basell's Spheripol technology with propylene feedstock imported
from the Middle East and other countries.
Talks with lenders are still taking place.
Industry observers wonder whether there will be sufficient
propylene available in Asia to support the two PP plants. A
number of cracker projects were being planned and built in the
Middle East, but these gas-based crackers were not likely to
yield much propylene for export, they said.
Shaoxing Fuling sources said talks were being held with overseas
propylene suppliers and they were confident that feedstock
availability would not be a problem.
They added that the main reason for building the PP units was to
produce feedstock for the company's biaxially oriented PP
(BOPP) plants,
which are relying on imported PP feedstock. Surplus PP from the
new units would be sold locally.
A Shaoxing Fuling subsidiary, Zhejiang Shaoxing Fuling Plastic
and Textile Co, owns two BOPP lines in the same industrial zone
with a total capacity of 49 000 tonne/year. It plans to add two
BOPP lines, each of 35 000 tonne/year capacity. It aims to bring
both lines onstream at end-2005. Approval has been sought from
the government for this project.
The new BOPP lines are likely to employ technology from Bruckner,
which is the licensor for the existing BOPP units. Fuling Plastic
and Textile also produces 7000 tonne/year of clarified PP. Its
capacity is to be doubled in H2 2005.

Shaoxing Sanyuan
starts up 300kt PP project
Shaoxing Sanyuan (三圓) Petrochemical, a subsidiary
of Zhejiang Shaoxing Fuling (富陵) Group, has started up its
new 300 000 tonne/year PP project at Paojiang (袍江) Industry Park , Shaoxing
city, Zhejiang Province.
With total investment of the unit around USD 125 million (RMB
2 billion), the PP project use Spheripol technology of
Basell. It has started construction since Q1 2004.
Propylene feedstock will sourced from Asia Pacific or
Mid-East market; while the PP products, will partly captive
use for Fuling’s Biaxally Oriented PP (BOPP)
and Cast PP (CPP) line, and the remaining will sell to east
China market.
Fuling Group, Sanyuan's parent company, is a Shaoxing based
privated plastics film producer. It produces BOPP, CPP, POF,
etc, with total plastics film capacity of 80 000 tonne/year.
Sanyuan had also planned to build a second 300 000
tonnes/year PP project, to make total PP capacity to 600 000
tonne/year. However, this second phase plan maybe shelved, it
depend on the financing and the market condition,
particularly the supply and price of propylene.
Zhejiang Shaoxing
Fuling Plastic and Textile Co. has changed name to it is
still a subsidiary of Fuling Group, and the proposed new
7000 tonne/year of CPP project was shelved.
The company has built two new BOPP lines with total
capaty of 70 000 tonne/year (35 000 tonne/year each)
using Bruckner's technology. While the old two BOPP lines
should be stopped, which have total capacity of 49 000
tonne/year.
Currently, the company has 4 plastics film lines, 2 BOPP,
1 CPP and 1 POF, with total capacity of around 80 000
tonne/year.

中国の設備投資規制、「PVCの新増設計画」に障害
中国では経済の成長に伴い、PVCの需要が年々増大している。これを受け、最近の集計では計画又は検討されている05年から08年の間の能力増は700万トンに達する。しかしながら、ここにきて、これらの新増設計画に障害が出てきた。
第1は国家発展改革委員会(NDRC)による規制で、NDRCは既報の通り、経済の過熱化を押さえるため、石油化学、繊維、鉄鋼、アルミ、建材、機械、医薬その他の産業で小規模設備の新設規制の通牒を出した。
塩ビ関連ではEDCベースPVCでは年産20万トン未満、アセチレン法PVCでは年産8万トン未満、クロルアルカリについても年産10万トン未満の設備の新設は認めないこととなった。
東ソーは、広州市南沙経済開発区で「東曹(広州)化工有限公司」のPVC年産11万トンのプロジェクト申請を行った。これは本通牒の対象(20万トン未満)となる唯一の海外からの投資だが、現地からの情報ではまだ認可が下りていない。
他の多くのメーカーは今のところ、この通牒がどのように適用されるのか様子待ちの状況だが、山東恒通化学のように、既に年産4万トンのアセチレン法PVCを稼動済みだが、この通牒が既存プラントにまで適用されるのを恐れて10万トンへの増設を急ぐ企業も出てきた。
場合によっては、以前の日本の30万トンエチレンのように、過熱化を押さえるための政策が逆に過熱化を促進する可能性もあるとの見方もある。
第2は電力不足で、特に南部及び東部で電力不足が深刻な状況だが、北京など北部にも広がってきた。経済の急速な発展で電力需要がこの10年間で2倍以上となったのに対して、供給がついていかないためで、産業界にも電力制限の影響が出てきた。6月には産業向けの電力料金が平均で約6%アップした。
塩ビの場合はプラント自体の停電停止の可能性に加え、原料のアセチレンや塩素をつくるカーバイドプラントや電解プラントが電力不足で減産を強いられ供給不足となり、また電力料金アップの影響も受けることとなる。黒龍江省のある企業は、アセチレンの調達が難しいとしてPVC新設を再検討していると報道されている。今後輸入VCMへの切り替えが増えるとVCM価格のアップのおそれがある。
電力不足は短期間に解消する見込みはなく、この問題はPVCプラントの新増設に影響を与えることとなる。中国経済の急速な発展の矛盾がいろいろなところに出てきた形で、今後の動向に注意が必要である。 （この項上海発＝CNT特約）

中国政府、水銀法か性ソーダや毒性の強い農薬等も禁止対象
既報のとおり、中国の国家発展改革委員会、中国人民銀行、中国銀行監督管理委員会は産業政策と貸付政策の調和を強化する方針を明らかにしたが、経済の過熱化を押さえることのほか、環境に悪影響を与えると見られる技術の使用禁止も目的の一つとしている。
政府は環境汚染が深刻であるとみており、環境に悪影響を与える製品の禁止を通じて改善に乗り出したもの。通牒では禁止品目を列挙しているが、その中には水銀法か性ソーダや毒性の強い各種の農薬・殺鼠剤、シックハウスの原因となる塗料等が含まれている。
これらの動きには、わが国化学業界や商社、経産省なども強い関心を示している。

大連に大型センター、蘭州などで相次ぎ増強も
大連でエチレンセンターの建設を計画しているのは大連実徳。現業はプラスチック加工でアップストリーム戦略のなかで基礎製品であるエチレンなどの生産に乗り出そうとしている。
一方、中国ではＳＩＮＯＰＥＣ、ペトロチャイナグループを中心に既存プラントの能力増強が継続的に進められている。すでにこれまでの手直し増強によりエチレンの生産能力は年５６６万トンと２００１年に比べて１５％のアップが実現している。ＳＲＩなどによれば、この動きは今後も続き、すでにペトロチャイナグループの蘭州石油化学が年産２４万トンから同５４万トンヘの増強を計画しているほか、遼寧省の華錦化学集団も年産１６万トンの設備を同３６万トンに拡大しようとしている。
さらにＳＩＮＯＰＥＣグループの茂名石油化学も、年産６０万トンヘの増強を計画していると伝えられている。

中国の国家安全部門が24日、有毒化学品として６月１日から長江流域でのアクリロニトリル（ＡＮ）の運搬を全面的に禁止する新たな措置を発表したことで、長江沿岸に工場を持つ台湾のアクリロニトリル・スチレン（ＡＳ）、アクリロニトリル・ブタジェン・スチレン（АＢＳ）メーカーは輸送コストの増大で大きな打撃を受ける見通しだ。
新措置実施以降はこれを陸運に切り替えねばならず、輸送コストは一挙に倍増する見通しだ。

三九企業集団 中国政府が資本注入 ５０億元で調整 外資導入、白紙に
中国政府は資金難に陥っている中国医薬品最大手の三九企業集団（広東省）に資本注入する方針だ。注入額は総額５０億元（約６５０億円）前後で最終調整している。同社は外資導入で借入金返済を目指していたが、中央政府が支援し早期の経営健全化を目指す。中央政府が金融機関以外の一般企業に資本注入するのは珍しい。

中国医薬大手の三九企業集団 華潤集団が買収
中国の大型国有企業の華潤集団は中国の医薬品大手、三九企業集団(広東省)を買収する。漢方薬を主力とする三九は自動車販売など多角化事業の失敗で負債が膨らみ、経営が悪化していた。華潤は三九を傘下に入れ、今後成長が確実な医薬品市場の開拓を急ぐ。
１９８５年設立の三九は２００３年に日本の中堅医薬、東亜製薬(富山県)を買収するなど海外展開にも力を入れていた。多角化事業の失敗で負債総額が１００億元まで膨らみ、０４年に創業者を事実上解任、国資委主導で再建策を練っていた。

薬品大手の三九集団を再編へ 華潤集団が出資
国務院の国有資産監督管理委員会（国資委
State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission：SASAC
）は19日、華潤集団China
Resources Enterpriseを戦略投資家として三九企業集団999 Groupに対する資本再編を実施することを明らかにした。
三九集団は国資委の管轄下にある国有の大型医薬品企業で、上場企業の三九医薬やGMP認証（医薬品等の品質管理基準）を取得した医薬品製造企業を傘下に多数擁する。製品は漢方医薬・西洋医薬を合わせて約千種類に上り、全国をカバーする販売ネットワークをもつ。2003年末、同集団は債務超過に陥り、深刻な信用危機および債務危機に陥った。04年7月には国務院の認可を受けて債務再編をスタートし、06年12月には戦略投資家の導入作業を開始した。こうした動きを受けて、国資委はこのほど専門家による投票・審査に基づき、華潤集団を戦略投資家に選出した。
国資委の責任者によると、今回、戦略投資家が基本的に確定したことで、三九集団の債務危機および上場企業資金の占用問題を早期に解決し、上場企業の中小株主の権利を適切に保護し、各方面への損失を可能な限り軽減するのにプラスになる。

China's Dalian Shide, SABIC aim a
$5 billion petrochemical complex in Northeast China
There is bombing news on Jun 17,
2004 in China petrochemical industries. Dalian Shide(大連實德) Group associate with Saudi Basic
Industries Corp (SABIC) to build a 41.6 billion yuan ($5.03
billion) petrochemical complex in Northeast China, construction
of this project will be started in 2005 and finished by 2010.
This news confirmed by Shide Group on Jun 18.
The proposed world-scall complex will be in the Lvshun (旅順) port of Dalian（大連） City, and it would include a 1.3 million
tonne-per-year (tpy) ethylene plant and an 10 million tpy oil
refinery, sources familiar with the project said. Dalian Shide
and SABIC will hold this project as a 50:50 joint venture.
A proposal for the project had been submitted to the governmental
authority last November.
Yet there is no reply from SABIC about this project.
Dalian shide Group ( http://www.shide-global.com ) is a private firm in China. Its business
covered with chemical building materials, petrochemicals, home
appliances, sports, insurance, auto-manufacturing and so on. It
owned a famous Football club in China.
Some Hong Kong based Chinese medias reported that the president
of Dalian Shide Group, whose name is Xu Ming, is the son-in-law
of current China’s prime
minister Wen JiaBao, but have no China official media confirmed
this rumor.
http://www.shide-global.com
Dalian Shide Group Co. Ltd.
is a privately-owned company with diversified products and
services. It was founded in 1992 with its headquarters in
Dalian, China. Since its inception, Shide Group has
emphasized the importance of technology, marketing,
information and community. Due purely to hard work, efficient
management, community support and international cooperation
over almost a decade, Shide Group has quickly become one of
the most well known companies both in China and the world.
Shide Group originally started as Dalian Shide Machinery
Construction Corporation Ltd in 1992. Currently, Shide Group
is gaining renown primarily because of its high quality
chemical building materials and its expertise in the
petrochemical industry; home electrical appliances
manufacturing; sports; automobile manufacturing; health care
and insurance.
Dalian
Shide Plastics Industry Co., Ltd. is the cornerstone of Dalian Shide
Group. Originally, it was founded in August 1995 in the form
of a joint venture between Shide Group and Theysohn Company
(Germany). In that year, Dalian Shide Plastics Industry Co.,
Ltd imported the 12 most advanced automatic compounding
systems, high-speed profile extrusion lines, and door &
window assembly lines from Germany capable of maintaining a
12,000 ton capacity per year while producing highly qualified
windows and doors.
Because the PVC doors and windows were new building materials in China,
Shide proceeded to educate customers and cultivate the
potential market. Now Shide is proud of its comprehensive
marketing and sales network, which includes eight regional
sales center totally covering all areas of China. At the same
time, Shide has continued to cooperate with Reimelt Company
(Germany), Theysohn Company (Germany), Greiner Company
(Austria), Cincinnati Company (Austria), Chemson Company (U.
K.) in plastic profile processing technology. In addition to
importing the most advanced automatic compounding systems,
high-speed profile extrusion lines, as well as door &
window assembly lines from Germany, Shide has also imported
double-glazing production lines from the U. K. to produce
plastic profiles used for rigid plastic doors & windows.
Shide Group is one of the
biggest users of PVC and VCM. The price of the raw materials
has been the biggest cost of Shide chemical building
materials. In July 2000, Shide Group determined to establish
its own PVC and VCM production bases and founded Dalian Shide
Petrochemical Co. Ltd. In
the same year, Shide invested more than $1.2 billion to set
up an annual 500,000-ton PVC & VCM production base and auxiliary
facilities. The plant will be completed in 2003. Another PVC
and VCM production base will start the construction in
Jiaxing, Zhejiang, China.

The impacts of
China's Yangtze ACN ban
For the environmental concerns, The Chinese government has banned
shipments of acrylonitrile (ACN) via the Yangtze River with
effect from 1 June,2004, and imposed a $10/tonne surcharge for
ground transportation of ACN. The authorities concern that marine
life would be affected by the ACN leakages, because ACN is
classified as a dangerous chemical.
For the sake of some of producers which use the ACN as a
feedstock imported ACN are often shipped through the river, with
this regulation, the producers based in the Yangtze Delta
(including Jiangsu Province 江蘇省and Shanghai City), will be affected
mostly. These potential affected producers including: Nantex
Industry台湾, which with
about 16000 tonne/year nitrile butadiene rubber(NBR) plant in
Zhenjiang鎮江, Jiangsu
Province; Shinho Changzhou新湖(常州)石化 韓国ＪＶ, which produces 50 000
tonne/year of ABS in Changzhou 常州, Jiangsu Province.
The worst affected firms are two Taiwan's ABS producers, Chi Mei
and Grand Pacific Petrochemical Corp (GPPC國喬石化). Chi Mei produces 250 000 tonne/year of
ABS in Zhenjiang while GPPC has a capacity of 180 000 tonne/year,
also in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province.
Platts have reported on 18 June that Chi Mei may shut China ABS
unit for the China's ACN ban.
Followed the GPPC, Taiwan's Chi Mei Group plans to negotiate with
Chinese government officials early July to discuss the
possibility of lifting the Yangtze ACN ban. GPPC is ongoing the
discussion with the Chinese government on the ban, source said.
Chi Mei had been
transporting ACN from Shanghai via the Yangzi River and through
about 600 kilometers Changjiang Canal to Zhenjiang. If the
negotiation failed, Chi Mei maybe alter the import site to
Lianyungang port, Jiangsu Province.
SHINHO(CHANGZHOU)PETROCHEMICAL
CO.,LTD was established with investment from Shinho
Petrochemical Co.,Ltd (SH Chemical) of Korea, Changzhou
Plastic Group常州塑料集団 and Changzhou Xingang Economic
Development Co.,Ltd, with an annual output of 100,000 tons of
ABS, for the first stage of which US$29.82 million has been
invested. The company has adopted the technology of Shinho
Petrochemical Co.,Ltd, specializing in the production of ABS
resin of various brands.

Meanwhile, Chi Mei Group denied plans to close a plastics
plant in eastern China after the Chinese government banned
river shipments of a raw material.
China's decision this month to ban transport of acrylonitrile
on the Yangtze River and impose a US$10 per ton surcharge on
ground shipments will force the company to raise prices or
find ways to cut costs at the plant in Zhenjiang, said Huang
A-Rong, a section chief at Chi Mei. Acrylonitrile is a toxic
raw material used to make acrylic rubber and fibres.
'Chi Mei intends to continue the Zhenjiang operation even as
China's environmental protection measures will increase our
costs,' Mr Huang said, denying a report in Taiwan's Economic
Daily News that the plant may shut.
China's People's Daily in a May 31 commentary singled out Hsu
Wen-long, 76, founder of Chi Mei, as an example of the kind
of Taiwan businessman whose investment isn't welcome because
of his pro-independence views.
China's decision to adopt stiffer environmental protection
standards for the plastic industry isn't a political ploy
aimed at Chi Mei, Mr Huang said.
'Some people mistakenly think there might be some political
implications in China's decision,' he said.

海南省、5年内に重要な石油・ガス・化学工業の基地に
海南省（海南島）は南中国海の豊富な石油・天然ガス資源と続々と流入する企業の投資をよりどころに、巨大な産業発展計画ーー2004年から５年ほどの期間をかけて大規模な開発と建設を行い、海南省を中国の重要な石油・天然ガス・化学工業の生産基地に築き上げる計画ーーを実施している。
地質調査によると、海南省所属の約210万平方㌔の海域には230～300億㌧の石油と約15兆立方㍍の天然ガスが埋蔵されているという。この巨大な資源は中国に新たなエネルギーの保障を提供することになるばかりでなく、農業と観光業がGDPの55％を占める省全体の経済構造の工業化への転換のために条件を整えることになった。
現在、石油・天然ガスの採掘と加工における中国のトップクラスの大手会社３社がすでに海南省の発展計画に参与し、アメリカ、ドイツ、オランダ、シンガポール、香港などの国や地域の多国籍企業が投資者として肩を並べている。
数多くの投資の流入につれて、生産規模が中国トップクラスにある化学工業プロジェクトがすでに建設工事が着工され、一部のプロジェクトが操業を開始した。海南島西部の沿海地域では洋浦経済開発区と東方市を中心とした石油・ガス化学工業ベルトが初歩的に形成されている。
海南省の衛留成省長はこのほど記者の取材を受けた際、次のように語った。海南省は今後南中国海の石油・ガスの探査、開発、加工を外資導入と対外経済協力の重点分野とし、石油、天然ガス、重化工業、ファインケミカルを優先的に発展させる計画である。具体策としては、「汎珠江デルタ（香港特別行政区、澳門特別行政区、広東省、福建省、江西省、広西チワン族自治区、海南省、湖南省、四川省、雲南省、貴州省によって構成される）」区域経済協力組織に参加し、当該組織のメンバーの資金を利用して、製品市場を開拓し、海南省の石油・天然ガス産業の発展を加速させ、特に香港の国際資金調達面での強みを十分に生かし、国際資本を誘致し、南中国海の石油・天然ガスの探査、採掘、深度加工に利用する計画である。
今日開かれる第１回汎珠江デルタ区域商談会において、海南省側は投資総額340億元を上回る、12の石油・天然ガス化工プロジェクトを新たに持ち出すことになっている。

CNOOC and DSM to form JV for
world scale melamine project
China National Offshore Oil
Corp(CNOOC) and Dutch Chemicals Group DSM are to form a JV to
build a 120kt/y melamine plant at Dongfang city, Hainan
province, China, a local government official told the media
and this news has been confirmed by DSM on Tuesday.
The final investment of the
project will be almost $100m, and after construction the
project will be one of the world's largest melamine plants.
DSM will hold the 70% stakes in the proposed JV while CNOOC
will hold the remaining 30%.
CNOOC owed an urea unit with
the capacity of 1.32m tonne/year and an ammonia unit with the
capacity of 700 000 tonne/year at the same site, and it would
provide feedstock to the planned plant.
Based on DSM technology, this
project is expected to get approval and start at Q1 of 2005,
and to be mechanically complete by the end of 2007. DSM also
provided technology for the CNOOC's urea plant through its
licensing unit Stamicarbon.
According to the DSM, the
output from the proposed melamine plant would be sold to
China domestic market as well as abroad; the new plant would
not impact the output from the company's existing plants in
Fortier, Louisiana, US; Geleen, the Netherlands; and Bontang,
Kalimantan, Indonesia, because the Chinese Marketing is
fast-growing.
Hainan island is a major
petrochemical base for CNOOC where the company is also
building a 600 000 tonne/year gas-based methanol project in a
joint venture with Hong Kong based Kingboard Chemical
Holdings.
China government plan that
Hainan province become a major petrochemical base in China
before 2009, with the advantages of Ocean oil and gas
competitiveness.
The current nomarch of Hainan
province--Wei Liucheng(衛留成)--was the former CEO of CNOOC. The
arrangement of Wei in the current position reflects the
strageties of China central government.

The
bullish Asian market of naphtha in 2005
China
will become a net naphtha importer from March 2005, once Secco
commissions its new cracker. As China's three crackers come on
stream as planned, the bullish Asian naphtha market can be
expected.
China to commision three big crackers in 2005. There are: Shanghai Secco's 900kt/y
cracker at SCIP (Shanghai Chemical Industry Park, Caojing of
Shanghai), which to come onstream in the March of 2005; the
following is BASF-YPC's new 600kt/y
cracker at Nanjing, which to come onstream in the middle of 2005;
the third cracker is Shell Chemicals' 800kt/y Daya Bay cracker, which to come
onstream in Nov. 2005.
Secco's 900kt/y cracker need 3 million t/y of naphtha for
feedstock, 75% of that total requirement will be sourced from two
Sinopec refineries in Zhenhai and Gaoqiao, while the remaining
25% will imported. BASF-YPC's cracker will need 2 million t/y
naphtha for feedstock, some of these will be sourced from Jinlin
refinery, and 10% of the total requirement will depend on
imports. Shell Chemicals' Daya Bay cracker need 2.65million t/y
naphtha, the total reuirement of this cracker will depend on
imports.
According to the statistic, China will have an extra naphtha
requirement of 7.65m tonne/year when three new crackers come
onstream as planned next year. Of the total new requirement, 3.6m
tonne is expected to be sourced from the international market.
Currently, all Chinese crackers are supplied by domestic
refineries. As a net exporter of naphtha, China exported 1131kt
naphtha in 2003, about 84%--950kt--is for Japan, and about
14%--156kt--is for S.Korea. West Pacific Petrochemical Co (WEPEC)
refinery at Dalian in northeastern China, which with the capacity
of 164 000 bbl/day, is the main naphtha exporter of China (it
exports two to three 30 000 tonne naphtha cargoes monthly). In
the same period, China imported 238kt naphtha, about half of it
is from Russia.
After 2005, China will compete with Japan and S.Korea in Asian
naphtha market. Most of the 3.6m tonne naphtha requirement, may
be sourced from India and Mideast market. That means India, which
is now exporting about 300 000 tonne/month of naphtha mostly to
Japan and South Korea, will boost its export volume for China
demand. And some industrial observers consider that Chinese
refineries must refine more lighter crude oil (like Saudi Light
crude) in order to meet the higher naphtha demand in 2005.
The stress of China domestic naphtha demand will not be relaxed
partly until the year of 2007. After 2007, two new Chinese
refineries planned by CNOOC and Sinopec are to come
on-stream, providing an additional 440,000 b/d of refining
capacity. CNOOC's feasibility study on a $2.1-bil, 240,000 b/d
[12-mil mt/year] refinery project in the southern Guangdong
province, was approved by government recently, this project is
scheduled to be completed in late 2007 or early 2008. Sinopec's
feasibility study on a 200,000 b/d [10-mil mt/year] plant in
eastern Shandong province, was also approved by government
recently. Sinopec aims to complete project development by
end-2006 and bring the refinery on stream during the first half
of 2007. The refinery, to be built in Shandong's coastal city of
Qingdao, will be designed to process Saudi Light crude.
Anyway,
with the on-stream of China's three crackers, the bullish picture
of Asian naphtha market can be expected in 2005.

China
plans 2 new refineries
China
will launch two refinery projects with a combined annual
capacity of 22 million tons of oil products to meet rising
demand and provide feedstock for new petrochemical plants,
industry officials and analysts said.
China
Petroleum & Chemical Corp (Sinopec), the country's top
refiner, plans to spend US$1.2 billion on a new refinery in
the eastern province of Shandong with annual capacity of 10
million tons, a Sinopec official said. Sinopec would
undertake the project on its own but no timetable has been
decided on yet, the official said. The project still requires
approval from the National Development and Reform Commission
(NDRC), the country's top economic planning agency, he said.
Meanwhile,
China National Offshore Oil Corp (CNOOC), the country's
dominant offshore oil producer, has also received permission
to build its first refinery with an annual capacity of 12
million tons of oil products, a company official said. The
project will be built in Huizhou in the southern province of
Guangdong where CNOOC and Royal Dutch/Shell are already
building a US$4.3 billion petrochemical complex. Issues such
as whether it will be a joint venture with Shell or solely
funded by CNOOC have yet to be decided, the official said.
"We'll make a formal announcement once everything is
finalized," she said.
Industry
analysts said the additional capacity of 22 million tons,
accounting roughly for 8 percent of China's current capacity
of 280 million tons, will help meet rising demand for
gasoline, diesel and fuel oil and provide feedstock for the
nation's expanding petrochemical capacity. The feedstock from
the new plants could be used in a number of new projects.
CNOOC's new petrochemical complex, scheduled for operation in
2005, has an annual capacity of 800,000 tons, while Sinopec
is expanding an ethylene cracker in Maoming in Guangdong
Province for 4.3 billion yuan (US$520 million). in 2006, its
annual capacity will rise to 800,000 tons from the current
380,000 tons, a Sinopec source said. Sinopec is also
considering expanding the capacity of other ethylene
facilities, including Sinopec Guangzhou, which is now
producing 150,000 tons of ethylene a year. There is ample
room for new ethylene plants in the country due to rising
demand, which will push up need for feedstock at the same
time, industry sources said. China's demand for ethylene has
been rising by about 10 percent a year in recent years, with
current domestic capacity only able to meet 50 percent of
domestic demand. Despite the expanding petrochemical
capacities, about 42 percent of China's ethylene needs will
still rely on imports by 2010, the industry source added.

HTI Direct
Coal Liquefaction Technology
Conversion of Coal into Clean Transportation Fuels
http://www.htigrp.com/data/upfiles/pdf/DCL%20Technology%2023Feb05.pdf
Hydrocarbon
Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Headwaters Incorporated
(NASDAQ: HDWR), has a process license agreement with Shenhua
Group Corporation, Ltd., China’s largest coal
company, for a direct coal liquefaction plant to be built in
China. Under the license agreement, HTI has provided a
process design package for the first of the three reactor
trains of the world first commercial direct
coal-to-liquid-fuels plant. 
The $2 billion facility will be located approximately 80
miles south of Baotou, at Majiata, Inner Mongolia in the
People’s Republic of China.
The plant will have an ultimate capacity of 50,000
barrels per
day of low-sulfur diesel fuel and gasoline produced from
indigenous coal.
After the startup of the first reactor train in late
2007,
Shenhua Group intends to construct three more coal
liquefaction plants in the general vicinity.
Coal is a solid organic material made up of large, complex
molecules containing mostly aromatic ring structures plus
small amounts of sulfur and nitrogen as contaminants. Raw
coal also contains moisture and solid particles of mineral
matter (ash). The aim of direct coal liquefaction is to break
down the complex coal structure into smaller component
molecules which then can be further refined into clean liquid
fuel products by reducing the contents of sulfur and
nitrogen.
The HTI COAL Process features:
・ HTI’s proprietary GelCatTM
Catalyst (dispersed, nano-scale, iron-based catalyst)
・ Two-stage,
back-mixed, slurry-phase reactors
・ Solvent de-ashing to
remove ash and unconverted coal and recover residual oils for
recycling
・ Mild hydrogenation to
replenish the hydrogen content of the recycle solvent and to
stabilize the raw distillate products
・ Resid recycle to
enhance net coal conversion
In the HTI COAL Process, pulverized coal is dissolved in
recycled coal-derived heavy process liquid under typical
hydrocracking temperature of 435 to 460oC in the presence of
elevated hydrogen overpressure (about 170 bars). Most of the
coal structure is broken down in the first-stage reactor.
Liquefaction is completed in the second-stage reactor. The
proprietary GelCat Catalyst is dispersed in the slurry for
both stages. The intermediate coal liquids from the mild
hydrogenation step will be further upgraded using
conventional refining techniques to produce gasoline, jet and
diesel fuels that will meet or exceed existing fuel
specifications.
Following the success of the Shenhua project, HTI is
undertaking two new pre-feasibility studies. One of these
studies is for Oil India Limited to evaluate the
viability of establishing a commercial facility in India
using Assam coal. This coal is one of the most reactive coals
tested so far and is expected to result in favorable
economics.
The other study is for the Department
of Energy of the Philippines. The objective of the study is
to assess the techno-economics of establishing a coal
liquefaction hub in the Philippines for countries in
Southeast. This study will also explore the benefits of
integrating direct and indirect coal liquefaction in the same
facility.

中国における石炭液化協力
Collaboration on
Coal Liquefaction in China
石炭から石油代替燃料を得る石炭液化技術は、日本のみならず中国のエネルギー政策上重要な意味を持ち、両国にとって不可欠な技術といえます。
日中石炭液化技術開発
１９８１年１１月、ＮＥＤＯは中国煤炭工業局（現煤炭工業局）との間で「石炭液化技術共同開発に関する協議書」を締結し、共同研究をスタートしました。１９８３年、煤炭科学研究総院、北京煤化学研究所に石炭処理量0.1t/d
のベンチスケールプラントを設置し、多くの液化試験を実施し、多大な成果を上げました。
神華炭液化事業化検討(Ｆ/Ｓ)
１９９３年から石油の輸入国に転じた中国では、経済成長に伴い石油輸入量の大幅な増大が予想され、２０００年には１００万バーレル/日の輸入量に達するとの予測もあります。
中国、日本を含むアジア地域の石油輸入は中東地区に集中しており、現在でも既に中東依存度は７５%にも達し、中国の輸入拡大により中東依存度はさらに上昇することが予想され、日本のエネルギー安全保障上重大な影響が懸念されます。
このような状況下、中国は自国に豊富に存在する石炭を原油並に扱うことのできる石炭液化に強い興味を持っており、２００１年から始まる第１０次５ヶ年計画での事業化を検討しています。
中国、内モンゴル自治区と陝西省にまたがる神府東勝炭田(神華炭)を開発している神華集団有限責任公司(略称:神華集団公司)の要請により、１９９９年５月の日中高級事務レベル会議を経てＮＥＤＯが神華集団公司と基本協定書を締結し、ＮＥＤＯＬプロセスに基づく神華炭液化プラント(5,000t/d)の立地可能性調査を実施しました。
神華炭は硫黄分や灰分が低く、採掘コストも安い等の石炭液化における種々のメリットを持っています。また、液化プラントの建設計画地は上湾炭坑に隣接し、電気や交通・住居などのインフラが整備されており、設備投資も最小限に抑えることが可能で、高い経済性が期待できます。
今後は、Ｆ/Ｓ結果をもとに、さらなる経済性向上のための各種検討、前述の北京0.1t/d
プラントによる神華炭の詳細な液化テストを行っています。

中国石化が新たに上海にエチレン100万トン
上海SECCOの90万トンに続いて計画
中国石化(Sinopec)と上海石化、英BP3社の合弁会社、上海賽科石油化工(上海SECCO)の石油化学プロジェクト(エチレン年産90万トン)が今月から上海市の上海化学工業区(奉賢区)で操業を開始したが、Sinopecは引き続き同区にエチレン年産100万トン設備を増設する計画である。
同90万トン設備は現在、中国最大の規模だが、中国全体で石油化学製品の大幅な需要増が見込めるため、生産力の増強をはかることになったもの。
上海SECCOは、Sinopec30%、上海石化20%、BP50%の出資。これに対して次のエチレン100万トン計画では、中国資本100%の新会社による運営をめざしている。政府の発展計画委員会にプロジェクトの承認を申請中で、年内にも認められる見通しにあるといわれる。この計画には石油リファイナリー1,000万トン設備も含まれている。
(注 2005/7 時点では一次ＦＳの段階）
中国のエチレン設備計画は01年から05年までの第10次5カ年計画として、上海のほか南京、広東(恵州)が認められ、南京はすでに年産70万トンまでの増設を完了している。恵州はことし11月中に年産80万トン設備の新設を終える予定。
中国のエチレン生産はことし800万トンと日本を抜く見通し。これに対し需要は1,500万トンに達すると見込まれ、供給不足が続くとみられている。さらに2010年には、生産能力1,300万トンに対して需要は2,500万トンと、いぜん国内での生産が間に合わないとされている。
上海化学工業区には英BP、独BASF、バイエル、米ハンツマン、独デグサなどが進出し、日本からも三井化学、三菱ガス化学などが参加している。エチレン100万トンプロジェクトでは三菱化学も調査をはじめているもようである。
なお、上海市には上海石化が金山区でエチレン年産65万トン設備を操業しており、上海市は向う数年で一挙に国際石油化学センターを保有することになる。

Sinopec, Shanghai Chemical eye 10-mil mt/yr refinery in
Shanghai
Chinese state-owned integrated oil major Sinopec and Shanghai
Chemical Industry Park plan to jointly invest in a new 10-mil
mt/year (200,000 b/d) refinery and petrochemical complex in
the northern part of Hangzhou bay in Shanghai city, a senior
official said Monday.
The project will include a 1-mil mt/year ethylene cracker, Li
Guo Hua, technical director of Shanghai Chemical Industry
Park, told a conference of China/Asia Oil, Chemicals &
Petrochemicals Storage, Transportation & Terminals in the
southern Guangzhou city Monday.
The total investment in the refinery-cum-petrochemicals
project is expected to reach Yuan 30-40-bil ($3.7-4.9-bil),
which will be funded 60-70% by Sinopec and the remaining by
Shanghai Chemical Industry Park, Li said.
Both parties are currently carrying out a feasibility study,
and are scheduled to apply for approval from the National
Development and Reform Commission in early 2006, Li said.
"The new project is expected to be approved by NDRC by
the end of 2006 or early 2007," he said.
"Construction work can be started as soon as the project
gets approved and it can be finished within eighteen months,
so the new project is scheduled to come onstream by
2009," he added.

中国―カザフ石油パイプライン 9月着工へ
中国新疆ウイグル自治区の阿拉山口とカザフスタンのアタスとを結ぶ石油パイプライン敷設工事が、今年9月に着工する。完成は来年末の予定で、使用開始後は、カザフスタンから中国に毎年1千万トンの原油が輸出される。駐中国カザフスタン大使が14日、北京の記者会見で明らかにした。
アタス-阿拉山口石油パイプラインは全長約1千キロメートル。カザフスタン西部から中国西部までを結ぶ「中国―カザフスタン石油パイプライン」（全長3千キロメートル）の重要な1区間となる。「中国―カザフスタン石油パイプライン」は、カスピ海沿岸の町アティラウからカザフスタンを横断し、中国・阿拉山口を経由して新疆ウイグル自治区独山子までを結ぶ予定。工事は3期に分けて行われる。中国-カザフ石油パイプラインは、中国西部に建設された製品油パイプラインとともに、西部から東部への石油輸送計画の一環だ。新疆ウイグル自治区と甘粛省を、東部や西南地方の石油輸送ラインや石油化学工場とつなぐことで、西部における石油パイプライン網を構築するとともに、市場に合わせたリソース調整を進める狙いがある。また、西部の石油資源の開発・利用とリソース配分の最適化を推進し、東部地域のエネルギーを確保する狙いもある。
専門家は、中国―カザフ石油パイプラインの建設により、新疆が「中国の石油タンク」になると指摘する。投資活動により現地製品へのニーズが刺激されると同時に、関連産業の発展が促されることで、中国の持続可能な発展に大きな意義をもたらすとみられる。

中国のシノケム、韓国・仁川精油を買収
中国の石油・石化の商社シノケム(中国中化集団公司)は、このほど、韓国石油業界5位の仁川精油を買収することで合意した。仁川精油は2001年に経営が破たん、法定管理下で売却先を探していた。買収額は5月にシノケムが提案した556百万ドルより若干下回るものとみられている。
仁川精油は、韓国火薬と米ユニオンオイルのJV・京仁エナジーとして設立され、韓火エナジーと改称後、現代グループに買収されて現在の名称に変更した(1999年に現代グループを離脱)。韓国の石油会社5社(SK、LGカルテックス、Sオイル、現代オイルバンク、仁川精油)の中では最下位だが、製油所は中国に近い黄海側にあり、処理能力は27.5万バレル
（BPD）と大きい(日本でこれを超えるのは2製油所のみ)。BTX能力はベンゼンが10万トン、トルエン25万トン、キシレンは40万トン。
シノケムは1950年に設立され、石油、肥料、ゴム、プラスチック、化学品等の国内、国外取引を行っている。同社は海外精油所で石油製品を生産して中国市場で販売することを狙い、タイのタイオイル買収を仕掛けたこともあるが失敗。
今回の買収により、中国の石油3大メジャー(シノペック、CNPC:中国石油天然ガス集団公司、CNOOC:中国海洋石油総公司)に次ぐ4社目の石油・石化会社となる。中国政府はWTO加盟に当たり、石油製品の市場開放を約束しており、本件を認可する見込み。（上海発＝特約）
