石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據路透社11月17日休斯頓消息稱，英國石油公司(BP Plc)表示，其交易部門上周五與美屬維爾京群島圣克羅伊島(St. Croix)一家停產煉油廠的業主達成了一項收費協議，在被前東家停產六年后，此協議鞏固了該工廠恢復運營的計劃。 英國石油公司在一份聲明中表示，根據該公司與閑置的Hovensa煉油廠的所有者Limetree Bay煉油公司達成的收費協議，BP將向該工廠提供原油并出售其產品、低硫燃料，這些燃料將在2020年滿足國際海事組織的要求。 私人股權公司ArcLight Capital Partners LLC旗下的Limetree將投資15億美元，將世界上最大的煉油廠之一的Hovensa煉油廠在2019年底重新恢復運營，并計劃每天煉制20萬桶原油。 它旨在生產符合國際海事組織規則的低硫燃料，國際海事組織要求大型船舶在2020年之前改用含硫量不超過0.5％的燃料，不再是3.5％。人們普遍預計該規則將刺激煉油廠生產的餾分油的新需求。 Limetree的工廠現場擁有1100多名建筑工人，并擁有2500萬桶原油存儲容量。 曹海斌 摘譯自 路透社 原文如下： BP agrees to supply crude to St. Croix refinery BP Plc’s trading arm on Friday entered a tolling agreement with the owners of an idled oil refinery in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, cementing plans to bring the plant back online six years after it was idled by previous owners, the company said. Under BP’s tolling agreement with Limetree Bay Refining LLC, owner of the idled Hovensa refinery, BP will supply the facility with crude and sell its products, low-sulfur fuels that will meet an International Maritime Organization mandate in 2020, it said in a statement. Limetree, owned by private equity firm ArcLight Capital Partners LLC, is investing $1.5 billion to bring the Hovensa refinery, one of the largest such facilities in the world, back online by late 2019, with plans to process 200,000 barrels per day (bpd). It aims to produce low-sulfur fuels that satisfy the International Maritime Organization rule calling for large vessels to switch by 2020 to fuels containing no more than 0.5 percent sulfur from 3.5 percent. The rule is widely expected to spur new demand for the distillates the refinery would produce. Limetree’s facility has more than 1,100 construction workers on site and has brought online 25 million barrels of crude storage capacity. ?
