PetroChina and
PDVSA to build large scale refinery in Guangdong
On Mar. 12, 2009, PetroChina and Guangdong Provincial Government
signed a strategic cooperation agreement, to build a large scale
refinery in Huilai (惠来), Jieyang City掲陽市, Guangdong Province.
With the estimated total investment of USD 8.1 billion (RMB 55
billion), the proposed refinery project will have 20 Mt/a
capacity of oil processing. The feedstock will secured by PDVSA
of Venezuela. PetroChina and PDVSA will jointly build the
refinery and the share of PetroChina will not be less than 51% in
the proposed jv project.
The project is now in the stage of feasibility study and the
proposal will be sent to NDRC this year, and it is expected to
get god from NDRC in H1 2010. So, PetroChina will start
construction in 2010 and complete it in 2013. According to the
industrial sources, PetroChina has a long term planning to expand
the 20 Mt/a to 50 Mt/a in the future, and also build a new 1 Mt/a
ethylene in the same site, to make Huilai to become an important
petrochemical base of PetroChina, like the Sinopec Zhenhai in
Zhejiang Province.
Also in Guangdong, the 12 Mt/a new refinery of CNOOC has
completed the construction, and it is expected to start trial run
in the coming days.

PetroChina,
Venezuela to Build Guangdong Oil Refinery
PetroChina Co.
and Venezuela will build a refinery in Guangdong province that
will rival the biggest Chinese oil-processing plant by capacity
as the two nations reinforce their energy ties.
PetroChina, the
country's largest oil company, will "further realize"
the agreements with Venezuela on the 400,000 barrel-a-day
refinery when energy officials from the South American nation
visit Beijing this month, Chairman Jiang Jiemin told reporters
today. The capacity will match the size of China Petroleum &
Chemical Corp.'s plant in Zhejiang province.
Venezuela, the
world's fifth-biggest oil exporter, and China plan to boost oil
production from their joint ventures in the South American nation
by more than 10-fold in the next six years to 1 million barrels a
day. China's oil and natural-gas shortages will persist in the
"long term," PetroChina's Jiang said on Jan. 12.
China National
Petroleum Corp., PetroChina's parent, signed an accord with
Guangdong yesterday to construct the 55 billion- yuan ($8
billion) refinery, the Guangzhou Daily reported today. PetroChina
will own more than 51 percent of the plant and Venezuela will
have the rest, Jiang said in Beijing.
"We will
start building the Yuedong plant as soon as we get government
approval," said Jiang, who added that a proposal to
construct the refinery will be submitted this year to the
National Development and Reform Commission, China's top economic
planner. Construction may begin next year, Guangzhou Daily said.
The refinery
will source heavy crude oil "mainly from Venezuela,"
Jiang said.
Venezuela's Oil
Venezuela's oil
is "at the service of China," Chavez said on Feb. 17.
"All the oil China needs for the next 200 years, it's here.
It's in Venezuela."
Venezuela has
reached out to China and Russia in an attempt to obtain financing
for projects in the South American country in exchange for oil
and reduce dependence on the U.S. Petroleos de Venezuela SA,
known as PDVSA, will provide 200,000 barrels a day to the Asian
country to pay down a $4 billion loan from China Development
Bank.
The two
countries agreed in May 2008 to build a refinery in China and
create a joint venture to drill for oil in the Junin 4 area,
where China National has been quantifying and certifying
reserves. Venezuela plans to export 1 million barrels of oil a
day to China by 2011 or 2012, Chavez said then.
China, the
world's second-largest energy consumer, entered into
oil-for-loans accords with Venezuela, Brazil and Russia last
month, tapping its $1.95 trillion foreign-exchange reserves at a
time when credit is scarce.
PetroChina
shares rose as much as 6.3 percent today, the most since Jan. 29,
and were at HK$5.73 at the midday break. The main Hang Seng Index
advanced 3.8 percent.

Chavez hails oil deals

CARACAS, Mar 18 - President Hugo Chavez Tuesday hailed a
six-billion-dollar drilling deal with Russia in Venezuela's
oil-rich Orinoco basin, and a refinery and oil-export deal with
China, as Venezuela's economy struggles with cheap oil prices.
"Two days ago, we signed in Vienna an agreement we'd been
working on for months ... It's quite important that Venezuela and
Russia have formed an energy corporation and established a
dialogue," Chavez told a cabinet meeting that was briefly
televised.
The joint-venture agreement was signed by Energy Minister Rafael
Ramirez with Russia, on the sidelines of Sunday's meeting of the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in the
Austrian capital.
Ramirez said here Tuesday the deal covered a "direct
investment of at least 6.0 billion dollars" in the
southeastern Orinoco basin that Venezuela estimates holds 53
billion barrels of crude oil.
Venezuela has agreed to a series of joint ventures with foreign
oil companies in the Amazon jungle region for prospection and
extraction deals in which Venezuela's state-run PDVSA holds a 60
percent stake.
Chavez also said Tuesday that Ramirez had just left for Beijing
to sign "three strategic agreements" on building a
refinery in China and "for Venezuela to supply China over
the next few years up to one million barrels of oil per
day."
China currently imports more than 300,000 bpd from Venezuela, he
added.
The plan is for China to be supplied with extra-heavy crude from
the Orinoco basin to be refined in the new facilities going up
there. A September agreement between the two countries called for
oil exports to China to reach 500,000 bpd in 2009.
With the price of crude on the world market 20 dollars below what
Chavez planned for this year, Chavez said his government is ready
to withstand even lower prices.
Venezuela is grappling with a precipitous decline in oil values,
from an average of nearly 87 dollars a barrel in 2008 -- with a
peak of 130 dollars -- to just 36 dollars a barrel today.
Some 90 percent of the country's export income comes from oil,
and the country planned for 60 dollars a barrel in its 2009
budget.
On Sunday, Chavez said he was considering raising the domestic
price of gasoline -- four cents a liter (16 cents a gallon) -- to
raise revenues.
But on Tuesday, he boasted: "We're battling to stabilize oil
prices within a fair range ... We were ready for 25 (dollars per
barrel) or less. I told them, 'Lets get ready for oil at zero
(dollars).'"
Venezuela tried but failed to have the 12-member OPEC lower its
output at their Sunday meeting.
OPEC instead decided against further cuts and froze its output at
current levels, urging its members to comply with last year's
quotas.
