Saudi Aramco&Sumitomo Chemical Make Significant Progress On Rabigh Project
Published in Alriyadh on 26 - 05 - 2012

Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco), together with its partner Sumitomo Chemical Company (Sumitomo Chemical), have made significant progress on the feasibility of the Rabigh Phase II Project (Rabigh II) and will proceed to implement the expansion of a world class petrochemical complex in Rabigh on the west coast of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Rabigh II will complement Saudi Aramco existing petrochemical investment portfolio especially in light of the Rabigh I petroleum refining and petrochemical production complex, currently owned by Rabigh Refining and Petrochemical Company (Petro Rabigh), a joint stock company initially founded by Saudi Aramco and Sumitomo Chemical.
The Rabigh II feasibility study and front-end engineering design (FEED) work were jointly undertaken and funded by Saudi Aramco and Sumitomo.
As part of the next phase implementation of Rabigh II, Saudi Aramco and Sumitomo Chemical are finalizing various project milestones, including contracts for engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) and other project-related agreements, as well as project financing.
Utilizing leading-edge technologies from Sumitomo Chemical and other companies, Rabigh II will explore maximization of existing synergies, the utilization of Saudi manpower, and development of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia conversion industries.
Our long standing partnership with Sumitomo Chemical continues to make further inroads with Rabigh II representing a significant milestone in Saudi Aramco downstream portfolio expansion and diversification strategy, said Khalid A. Al-Falih, president and chief executive officer of Saudi Aramco.
The total project investment is currently projected to reach approximately $7 billion. The project is expected to begin operations in the first half of 2016.
