据油气新闻网站7月19日多哈报道 卡塔尔石油公司与雪佛龙飞利浦化工公司签署了一项协议，在美国海湾地区开发一个新的世界级石化项目，预计成本为80亿美元。

签署仪式在白宫举行，卡塔尔国务大臣Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani和美国特朗普出席。该协议由卡塔尔石油公司总裁兼首席执行官、能源事务部部长Saad Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi以及雪佛龙飞利浦化工公司总裁兼首席执行Mark E Lashier签署。

美国海湾海岸二期石化项目（USGC II）将包括一个乙烯裂解炉，年产能200万吨，将使其成为世界上最大的裂解炉，另外还包括两个高密度聚乙烯装置，年产能100万吨。该综合设施将位于美国海湾沿岸地区，在那里可以直接获得美国页岩盆地（包括多产的二叠纪盆地）生产的大量乙烷。

根据协议，卡塔尔石油公司将拥有USGC II项目49%的股份，雪佛龙菲利普斯化工公司将拥有剩余51%的股份，同时将提供项目管理和监督，并负责设施的运营和管理。

USGC II项目的工程、采购和施工（EPC）合同的授予目前计划在2021年进行，新设施的目标启动时间为2024年。

2019年6月，卡塔尔石油公司宣布与雪佛龙菲利普斯化工公司合资，在卡塔尔拉斯拉凡工业城建立一个世界级的石油化工厂，其额定产能为每年190万吨乙烯，使其成为中东最大的乙烷裂解炉，也是世界上最大乙烷裂解炉之一。

Qatar, Chevron ink deal for $8bn petchem project in US

Qatar Petroleum has signed an agreement with Chevron Phillips Chemical Company to develop a new world-scale petrochemical project with an estimated cost of $8 billion in the Gulf Coast region of the US.

The signing took place at the White House, in the presence of Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Amir of the State of Qatar, and the President of the US, Donald Trump. The agreement was signed by Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, the Minister of State for Energy Affairs, the president and CEO of Qatar Petroleum, and by Mark E Lashier, president & CEO of Chevron Phillips Chemical.

The US Gulf Coast II Petrochemical Project (USGC II) will include an ethylene cracker with a capacity of 2 million tons per annum making it the largest cracker in the world, and two high-density polyethylene units with a capacity of one million tons per annum each. The complex will be located in the US Gulf Coast region, where there is direct access to significant ethane quantities produced by US shale basins, including the prolific Permian Basin.

Pursuant to the agreement, Qatar Petroleum will own a 49 per cent share in the USGC II project, while Chevron Phillips Chemical will own the remaining 51 per cent share and provide project management and oversight and be responsible for the operation and management of the facility.

The award of engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts for the USGC II project is currently planned for 2021 with targeted startup of the new facility in 2024.

In June 2019, Qatar Petroleum announced a joint venture with Chevron Phillips Chemical to pursue a world-scale petrochemical plant in Qatar at the Ras Laffan Industrial City with a nameplate capacity of 1.9 million tons of ethylene per annum, making it the largest ethane cracker in the Middle East and one of the largest in the world.
