尼日利亚BUA集团将斥资新建大型炼化项目

据烃加工在线9月1日消息，法国阿克森斯公司（Axens）在一份声明中称，尼日利亚企业集团BUA集团已选定公司作为为其计划中投资数十亿美元的尼日利亚炼油和石化项目的技术提供商。该项目中的炼油厂设计原油加工能力为20万桶/日。

阿克森斯公司是一家开发将石油和生物质转化为更清洁燃料的系统公司，该公司表示将为新项目提供技术，该项目旨在生产针对尼日利亚国内和地区市场的欧V燃料和聚丙烯。

尼日利亚石油业监管机构周二表示，随着该国炼油厂项目的投产，该国计划在未来两年内成为汽油和其他石油产品的净出口国。尼日利亚是非洲最大的石油出口国。

BUA集团表示:“这个大型工厂将有助于减少尼日利亚对进口燃料和石化产品的依赖。”BUA的业务还涉及水泥、食品和采矿。

该声明称，BUA项目将位于尼日利亚的产油区阿克瓦-伊博姆州。

Nigeria's BUA selects Axens for multibillion-dollar refinery project

Nigerian conglomerate BUA Group has selected France’s Axens for a multibillion-dollar 200,000 barrel per day (bpd) refinery and petrochemicals plant in Nigeria, the French company said in a statement.

Axens, which makes systems to convert oil and biomass to cleaner fuels, said it will provide technology for the greenfield project designed to produce Euro-V fuels and polypropylene targeted at domestic and regional markets.

Nigeria, Africa’s top oil exporter, aims to become a net exporter of gasoline and other petroleum products over the next two years as refinery projects in the West African country come on stream, the industry regulator said on Tuesday.

“This large complex will help in reducing Nigeria’s dependence on imported fuels and petrochemicals,” said BUA, which also has interests in cement, food and mining.

The BUA project will be located in Nigeria’s oil-producing region of Akwa-Ibom state, the statement said.
