Yokogawa strategic partnership with Gazprom Neft
Yokogawa Electric Corporation has signed a strategic partnership agreement with JSC Gazprom Neft, a major oil production and refining company in Russia
This project is under the management of the Rabigh Refining and Petrochemical Company (PetroRabigh), a joint venture between the Saudi Arabian Oil Company and Sumitomo Chemical Co.
Following the informal appointment of Yokogawa as the plant control system supplier for this project, the contract was formally concluded by Yokogawa Engineering Asia Pte, a wholly owned Yokogawa subsidiary.
In the Rabigh Project, which is slated for completion in the second half of 2008, PetroRabigh is enhancing an existing oil refinery at Rabigh on the Red Sea coast and constructing a new petrochemical complex that will annually produce 1.3 million tons of ethylene and 2.4 million tons of petrochemical derivatives such as polyethylene and polypropylene.
The new complex will be fully integrated with the existing refinery, which is currently undergoing an upgrade to a more sophisticated configuration.
This order for the Rabigh Project is for the upgrade of the control systems at the existing refinery and to provide control systems for the petrochemical plants that are being constructed.
The systems include the Centum CS3000 R3 integrated production control system, ProSafe-RS safety instrumented system, PRM plant resource manager, DPharp EJA pressure/differential-pressure transmitter, and OmegaLand integrated dynamic simulation environment.
This last product is manufactured by a Yokogawa subsidiary, Omega Simulation Co.
Delivery is scheduled for September 2007.
This is the largest ever Yokogawa order for a single project, and we believe we were awarded the contract because of the Saudi Aramco and Sumitomo Chemical evaluation of our product reliability and our proposal using solutions as seen from the user perspective.
We will strive to become the leading industrial automation company in the global market by 2010, by continuing to provide users with optimum solutions.
