[Saudi Arabia] Sadara

Unread post by escveritas »

A new paradigm

Sadara

Sadara is not just another project; it is the cornerstone of our downstream strategy to become a leading global integrated energy and chemicals enterprise, continuously increasing the value we deliver from the Kingdom’s hydrocarbon resources

The world’s best partnerships are those in which partners share a vision and complement each other’s strengths to produce something that is truly transformative and extraordinary. That’s what happened when we created our powerful partnership with The Dow Chemical Company.

We chose to partner with Dow because of its technical competence in producing high volumes of speciality chemicals. This capability, combined with our refining expertise and ability to produce and leverage high volumes of versatile feedstocks, made the prospect of joining forces very attractive. Both leaders in our respective industries, we came together through our shared values and vision to create a chemicals production facility that is unrivalled in the industry. The result was the Sadara Chemical Company.

"Sadara represents a bold undertaking for both Saudi Aramco and for Dow. For us at Saudi Aramco, it’s a major driver in achieving our goals of greater integration and value addition. Sadara represents the concrete realization of our distinct, yet complementary, corporate visions."
Saudi Aramco Chairman of the Board of Directors, HE Khalid A. Al-Falih Al-Falih

Leading on the world stage

The name Sadara means ‘in the lead’ in Arabic. It was chosen to reflect our quest for progressive leadership, superior performance, and our commitment to becoming the global leader in petrochemicals production. Sadara’s location, scale, configuration, and product slate would make it a first of its kind in the region and the industry. It would also enable further integration between our upstream and downstream operations and enable us to significantly increase our product portfolio and enter the specialty chemicals segment with a compelling offer for customers.

In 2007, we began formulating plans with Dow to build a new, world-scale chemicals complex.

Our proven ability to engineer and bring to completion extreme engineering projects has enabled the growth of our company to become the world’s unprecedented upstream production powerhouse.

We applied that skillset to build Sadara – the world’s largest integrated chemicals complex ever completed in a single phase – and established by the largest foreign direct investment in the Saudi petrochemicals industry.

In 2011, construction began on the $20-billion Sadara mega-project. Located in Jubail Industrial City II on the east coast of Saudi Arabia, the site was chosen because of its strategic access to growing chemicals markets in the region and in Asia.

Plans for Sadara featured 26 integrated world-scale manufacturing plants that could produce more than three million tons of performance plastics and high-value chemicals per year. Of the 26 plants, 14 would be capable of producing specialty chemical products that have never been produced in the Kingdom before.

At Saudi Aramco, we know our greatest opportunities for growth and diversification come from an innovative approach to maximizing our resources. So we aim to create extra value from every hydrocarbon molecule we produce through refining and chemical production.

As a result, we generate new value streams for our company, sustainable value for our partners, and exceptional products for our customers in the Kingdom and the rest of the world.

“Sadara is a flagship chemicals project that significantly advances our ability to derive the maximum value from every hydrocarbon molecule, and to participate more broadly across the petroleum value chain.”
Saudi Aramco president and CEO Amin Nasser
