shell-Nanhai project

Several linked derivative units have also started up and the remaining units will start up progressively over the next few weeks. These new units were constructed by CNOOC and are owned and operated by the existing CNOOC and Shell Petrochemical Company (CSPC) joint venture.

第一期

2010/5 ethylene cracker debottlenecked 800,000 tpa → 950,000 tpa
2012/12　ethylene output exceeded 1,000,000 tpa

第二期

2018/5　start-up

Ethylene 1,200,000 tpa

SMPO
   SM 630,000 tpa
   PO 300,000 tpa

Ethylene oxide 150,000 tpa

Ethylene glycol 480,000 tpa

High quality polyols 600,000 tpa

The new ethylene cracker increases ethylene capacity at the complex by around 1.2 million tonnes per year, more than doubling the capacity of the complex, and benefits from a deep integration with adjacent CNOOC refineries. The new facility will also include a styrene monomer and propylene oxide (SMPO) plant, which will be the largest in China when it begins operations.

“The start-up of the new ethylene cracker and derivatives units is a significant milestone for Shell,” Graham van’t Hoff, Executive Vice President for Royal Dutch Shell plc’s global Chemicals business, said. “I would like to thank our partner CNOOC for its excellent project delivery. As the largest single-site ethylene complex in China, CSPC is key to Shell Chemicals’ growth ambitions.”

He Zhongwen, Chairman and President of CNOOC Oil & Petrochemicals Co. Ltd, said: “The expansion project demonstrates great synergies between CNOOC’s engineering, construction and management capabilities, and Shell’s advanced technologies in chemicals. It has been recognised by the government as a role model for major industrial projects in China. This shows what we can achieve through effective international partnerships. We can now produce more and better chemical products for the growing domestic market.”

The new complex utilises Shell’s proprietary OMEGA, SMPO and polyols technologies to produce ethylene oxide, ethylene glycol, propylene oxide and high-quality polyols, as well as advanced technologies for polyolefins, phenol and oxo-alcohols production. It is the first time that Shell’s industry-leading OMEGA and advanced polyols technologies have been applied in China.

With a strong track record of reliable and safe operations, the petrochemicals complex produces olefins and derivative products that are used in a wide range of industrial and consumer products, including household appliances, cars, furniture and computers.

The new cracker is world-scale, and adds more than 1 million tonnes per annum ethylene capacity to produce high-value petrochemical products.

The complex benefits from deep integration with the adjacent CNOOC refineries. The expansion enables further monetization of advantaged feedstock from nearby CNOOC refineries, responding to the anticipated strong Chinese domestic demand in the long term.

CNOOC and Shell take final investment decision to expand petrochemical complex in China

China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) and Shell Nanhai B.V. today announce the final investment decision to expand CNOOC and Shell Petrochemical Company’s (CSPC) existing 50:50 joint venture (JV) in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, China. This decision follows the announcement of a Heads of Agreement in December 2015 between the two partners. Subject to regulatory approvals, CNOOC and Shell have agreed that CSPC should take over CNOOC’s ongoing project to build additional chemical facilities next to CSPC’s petrochemical complex.

The project includes the ongoing construction of a new ethylene cracker and ethylene derivatives units, which will increase ethylene capacity by more than 1 million tonnes per year, about double the current capacity. It will also include a styrene monomer and propylene oxide (SMPO) plant, which will be the largest such plant ever built in China.

Shell will apply its proprietary OMEGA, SMPO and polyols technologies to produce 150,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of ethylene oxide, 480,000 tpa of ethylene glycol and 600,000 tpa of high quality polyols. This increases the volumes and diversity of CSPC’s high quality product range to around 2 million tonnes per year, as well as enhances overall energy efficiency. It will be the first time that Shell’s industry-leading OMEGA and advanced polyols technologies will be applied in China.

Shell will apply its proprietary OMEGA, styrene monomer and propylene oxide (SMPO) and polyols technologies to produce 150,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of ethylene oxide, 480,000 tpa of ethylene glycol, 630,000 tpa of styrene monomer, 300,000 tpa of propylene oxide, and 600,000 tpa of high quality polyols. This more than doubles the volumes and range of CSPC’s high quality products to around 6 million tonnes per year. It will be the first time that Shell’s industry-leading OMEGA and advanced polyols technologies are applied in China.

The CSPC site, which has a strong track record of reliable and safe operations, currently converts a variety of liquid feedstocks into olefins and derivative products. These are used in a wide range of consumer goods, including computers, plastic bottles and washing liquids.

中国の中海シェル石油化学(CSPC)、来年6-7月にも誘導品の試運転

(上海発=特約) 　シェルと中国海洋石油(CNOOC)の50/50 合弁会社の中海シェル石油化学(CSPC)は来年11月に80万トン/年のエチレン設備をスタートさせる予定だが、これに先立ち誘導品の試運転を来年6ー7月に行うことが明らかになった。　CSPCのコンプレックスは広東省恵州市の大亜湾で建設されているが、誘導品としてはSM 55万トン/PO 25万トン、LL/HDPE 20万トン、LDPE25万トン、PP 24万トン、MEG 32万トンなどがある。エチレン完成までの間は原料のオレフィンは外部から購入する。　80万トン/年のエチレン設備は当初は輸入コンデンセート(天然ガスの採取・精製の過程で得られる常温・常圧で液体の炭化水素)を原料として使用する。中国海洋石油の12百万トン/年のリファイナリー完成後はナフサに切り替える。　関係者によると、シェル技術ではクラッカーは重質油からナフサまで幅広い原料を使用できる。公称能力は80万トンだが、改造なしで100万トン以上のエチレンを生産できるという。
