　　中国石化新闻网讯据烃加工新闻7月27日消息称，埃克森美孚和 SABIC 宣布，他们位于美国德克萨斯州科珀斯克里斯蒂附近的合资企业Gulf Coast Growth Ventures已经机械完成了一个单乙二醇装置和两个聚乙烯装置。

　　预计项目启动将提前开始，可能在2021年第四季度。

　　埃克森美孚化工总裁 Karen McKee 表示：“Gulf Coast Growth Ventures 是我们计划的一个关键发展，旨在满足对我们的高价值性能产品不断增长的需求。这确实是一个一流的项目，在进度加快和成本竞争力方面得到了证明，尽管COVID-19带来了许多挑战。”

　　SABIC 石油化工执行副总裁 Abdulrahman Al-Fageeh 表示：“我们非常自豪GCGV离运营又近了一步。我们不仅比计划提前，而且我们以最高的承诺和对安全的重视执行了这个项目，近1800万安全工时的工作，所有这些都是我们在四年前开始这一工作时对社区做出的承诺。”

　　该项目创造了600多个长期就业岗位，平均年薪为9万美元。此外，在施工期间还创造了6000个高薪工作岗位。该合资企业在建设期间为德克萨斯州创造了超过220亿美元的经济产值，预计在最初的6年运营期间将创造500亿美元的经济效益。

　　该项目包括一个 180 万吨的乙烷蒸汽裂解装置，预计将按预算交付，比美国墨西哥湾沿岸类似项目的平均成本低约 25%。建成后，GCGV每年将生产110万吨单乙二醇和130万吨聚乙烯。

　　单乙二醇通常用于制造聚酯和汽车冷却剂，并作为制造各种形式的高性能塑料的基石。聚乙烯通常用于保护膜、包装和延长食品和药品保质期的瓶子和容器，以及用于提高燃料效率和性能的各种汽车部件，以及医疗应用。

　　Gulf Coast Growth Ventures 扩大了埃克森美孚和 SABIC 之间成功的国际关系，这两家公司在石化企业合作已超过 35 年。

　　ExxonMobil and SABIC reach milestone on joint venture

　　ExxonMobil and SABIC have announced that their joint venture, Gulf Coast Growth Ventures, located near Corpus Christi, Texas, US, has reached mechanical completion of a monoethylene glycol unit and two polyethylene units.

　　Project startup is expected to begin ahead of schedule, likely in 4Q21.

　　“Gulf Coast Growth Ventures is a key development of our plan to serve growing demand for our high value performance products,” said Karen McKee, President of ExxonMobil Chemical Co. “This is truly a best-in-class project, as demonstrated in schedule acceleration and cost competitiveness, despite the many challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

　　“We are very proud to bring GCGV one step closer to operations,” said Abdulrahman Al-Fageeh, SABIC’s Executive Vice President of Petrochemicals. “Not only are we ahead of schedule, but we have executed this project with the highest commitment and emphasis on safety with nearly 18 million safe person-hours worked, all while acting on the promises we made to the community when we started this journey four years ago.”

　　The project created more than 600 permanent jobs with average salaries of US$90 000 per year. An additional 6000 high-paying jobs were created during construction. The venture has generated more than US$22 billion in economic output for the state of Texas during construction and is estimated to create US$50 billion in economic benefits during the first six years of operation.

　　The project, which includes a 1.8 million t ethane steam cracker, is expected to be delivered under budget and approximately 25% less than the average cost of similar projects along the US Gulf Coast. When completed, GCGV will produce 1100 kilotons of monoethylene glycol and 1300 kilotons of polyethylene per year.

　　Monoethylene glycol is commonly used in the manufacturing of polyesters and automotive coolants, and as a building block to create various forms of high-performance plastics. Polyethylene is commonly used in protective film, packaging and bottles and containers that prolong the shelf-life of food and medicines, as well as in various automotive parts that improve fuel efficiency and performance, and in medical applications.

　　Gulf Coast Growth Ventures expands the successful international relationship between ExxonMobil and SABIC, who have worked together in petrochemical ventures for more than 35 years.
