WHAT KIM SAY?

----------------------------------------------------------

"Saudi Aramco’s decision to invest up to US$7bil in the Rapid refining complex in Malaysia is positive for the project’s outlook, and significantly reduces the financial burden placed on operator Petronas. The deal would help to lock-in future demand for Saudi crudes from Malaysia, which is set to swing to a net importer by 2020". - Kim Spartan

PETCHEM'S FIVE KEY PROJECTS

---------------------------------------------------------

1. Sabah Ammonia Urea (Samur) Project

Project Update: Currently, both ammonia and urea plants are running at 100% full capacity.

As of April 2017, a total of 148,813 tonnes of ammonia and 187,300 tonnes of urea had been produced. Majority of Samur products are exported to Thailand (51%), Australia (25%) and to other Asean countries.

Background: The Samur Project represents PetChem’s continuous effort to meet market demands for urea, especially in the South-East Asia region. The project will add 1.2 million metric tons per annum (mtpa) of urea production to PetChem’s existing 1.4 million mtpa capacity, positioning it as the second largest urea producer in South-East Asia.

2. Integrated Aroma Ingredients Complex

Project Update: The commissioning and start-up process of the integrated aroma ingredients complex is progressing well to meet the range of 2017 start-up schedule.

Background: The Integrated Aroma Ingredients Complex in Gebeng, Pahang, is a joint venture project undertaken together with BASF through our associate company, BASF Petronas Chemicals Sdn Bhd. Citral, citronellol and L-menthol, are aroma ingredients, to meet the high demand from the rapidly growing fragrance and flavour industries.

This project, that is first to use BASF’s technology outside Europe, marks PetChem’s foray into the highly attractive niche and specialty play, which are less affected by cyclicality compared to commodity chemicals. Aroma ingredients are sold to the flavour and fragrance industry, mainly in home and personal care products and in the food industry as well as pharmaceutical applications.

3. 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid (2-EHAcid) Project

Project Update: On specification 2-EHAcid was successfully produced and delivered to overseas customers in late 2016

Background: The 2-EHAcid plant in Gebeng Pahang, undertaken together with BASF through our associate company, BASF Petronas Chemicals Sdn Bhd is the first of its kind in South-East Asia and will benefit from the integration with its current facilities in Gebeng. Product application include as a chemical compound in the production of synthetic lubricants, as well as oil additives and functional fluids like automotive coolants, and other uses in various industries.

4. Highly Reactive Polyisobutene (HR-PIB) Project

Project Update: HR-PIB is expected to be commissioned in the fourth quarter of 2017 as planned.

Background: PetChem has sanctioned the development and construction of a new world-scale HR-PIB plant at its associate company, BASF Petronas Chemicals Sdn Bhd, to add further value to its existing business at Petronas Chemicals MTBE Sdn Bhd in Gebeng, Pahang. Product functions include as intermediate product for the manufacturing of high-performance fuel and lubricant additives.

5. Pengerang Integrated Complex (PIC) Project

Project Update: As at end March 2017, the Pengerang Integrated Complex (PIC) development is around 62% overall project progress. This project is progressing well whereby to date the overall petchem project for polymer and glycol is more than 30% and slightly ahead of schedule.

On April 18, 2017, PCG approved the final investment decision for an isononanol plant at Pengerang Integrated Complex. This is yet another strategy of PCG to grow further in specialty chemicals.

Background: The petrochemical projects in PIC, which are scheduled to be operationalised in 2019, are significant growth projects for PetChem to broaden its product portfolio and further diversify into derivatives, specialty chemicals and solutions, while expanding PetChem’s existing production capacity.
