As for the price of ethane gas Pemex Gas and Basic Petrochemicals supply, it is
pertinent to mention that this is not determined and fixed, but is determinable
by a formula. The importance of this project for the country is to develop a
modern Mexican petrochemical industry, integrated with the latest technology,
profitable and competitive.
Therefore, it is imperative that there is full transparency and access to
information for all Mexicans know this important project; but also, it is clear
that openness must adhere to the stipulations of the relevant legal framework
based on international standards.
From 2010 to date, the Liaison Unit of Pemex Gas and Basic Petrochemicals has
received several requests for information in terms of the Federal Law of
Transparency and Access to Public Government Information. Derived from the
above, were filed with the Federal Institute of Access to Information and Data
Protection (IFAI), various appeals for review in which the development and
delivery of public versions were resolved.
Although the unit above Link, gave timely compliance to its development,
during the time given to him, it was notified of the existence of various
judgments brought guarantees by companies IDESA and Braskem where were
granted interim suspensions appropriate; Therefore, Pemex Gas and Basic
Petrochemicals found legally unable to comply with the orders and resolutions
issued by the IFAI.
At present, have been granted in all judgments guarantees the final
suspensions, why, Pemex Gas and Basic Petrochemicals is not able to provide
further information regarding the Ethylene XXI project, in accordance with the
provisions of Article 13 section V of the Federal Law of Transparency and Access
to Public Government Information.
Furthermore, the Agency will be in the best position to ensure access to public
information in their files, provided it is not subject to any proceedings in the
form of judgment, classified as privileged and / or confidential.
In this sense, Pemex Gas and Basic Petrochemicals reiterates its firm
commitment to all Mexicans to work by encouraging and promoting the
country's petrochemical industry, as well as acting in accordance with the
principles of transparency and accountability that allow the strengthening of
the democratic state law for the benefit of all citizens, always within the legal
framework applicable.
El nuevo sitio del proyecto es de 192 hectreas (ha); 60% ser utilizado por el
complejo fsico, 10% de la superficie ser utilizada durante la construccin y
luego re-vegetacin, con otros 30 hectreas a un lado como un rea de
conservacin permanente.
ALCANCE DEL PROYECTO
Pemex utiliza una subasta pblica en la que se invit a varias empresas a
participar como propietarios-operadores para Etileno XXI. Ideas Group de
Mxico y Braskem de Brasil fueron seleccionados como las empresas para crear
la nueva empresa de riesgo compartido. Ambas compaas presentaron la
mejor propuesta para el desarrollo de Etileno XXI.
El nuevo complejo petroqumico se reunir la demanda interna de productos
petroqumicos y reemplazar los materiales importados con productos
petroqumicos de alta calidad a precios muy competitivos. Uno de los objetivos
de Etileno XXI es sustituir el 40% de las importaciones actuales de educacin
fsica. El proyecto tambin permitir a la produccin de productos de mayor
valor aadido mediante la monetizacin de etano como materia prima para la
petroqumica en lugar de consumirlo en forma de energa.
Se pronostica inicio de la nueva instalacin para comenzar en el segundo
semestre de 2016. Una parte del paquete ofrecido por Pemex fue un acuerdo a
largo plazo para el suministro de etano para los prximos 20 aos. El
suministro de etano ser una adicin a lo que Pemex ya suministra a Pemex
Petroqumica.
HITOS DEL PROYECTO
Proyecto Etileno XXI es ms del 54% de avance. El objetivo es ser el 75% de
avance a finales de 2014. Las cuatro nuevas plantas de procesamiento deben
estar en funcionamiento en septiembre de 2016: tres unidades de Educacin
Fsica y uno de craqueo de etileno. El proyecto tambin incluye la energa
elctrica para las instalaciones, adems de una sala de control, laboratorios,
instalaciones de mantenimiento, instalaciones administrativas, cafeteras,
instalaciones de almacenamiento, y una subestacin elctrica con 22 torres.
Los contratistas civiles tienen una tasa de finalizacin del 95% en estas
instalaciones auxiliares, y la fase de montaje mecnico es el 80% de avance.
En la actualidad, la fase electromecnico est en marcha en el que se
instalarn 80 km de alambre y tubo por semana. Aproximadamente, 14.600
empleados trabajan en el sitio, y este nivel de empleo se mantendrn hasta
abril de 2015. Una vez terminado, la instalacin dar empleo a 440
trabajadores a tiempo completo permanentes.
PROCESO
Del total de 180 mil bpd de etano que PEMEX produce en la zona de
Coatzacoalcos, que slo utiliza 88 mil bpd de la produccin petroqumica
nacional. El etano restante se reinyecta de nuevo en sus operaciones de
One of Mexicos main goals is to efficiently develop its energy sector. This
nation has put into place the National Development Plan 20072012, which is
focused on strengthening the exploration and production of crude oil and
natural gas; modernizing and expanding refining capacity; increasing storage
capacity, supply and transportation of energy products; and building a series of
processing plants for natural gas and its derivatives.
The federal government, through Pemex Gas and Petroqumica Bsica, using
the law that regulates Mexican oil, decided to promote private investment to
build a new major petrochemical complex called Ethylene XXI. The investment
required to build this new modern complex is estimated at US$2.7 B. The
project scope includes building an ethylene cracker in Coatzacoalcos; Pemex
Gas and Petroqumica Bsica will supply ethane for the new cracker. The
produced ethylene will be used to support derivative facilities to manufacture
polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and other derivatives.
The new project site is 192 hectares (ha); 60% will be used by the physical
complex, 10% of the area will be used during construction and then revegetated, with a further 30 ha set aside as a permanent conservation area.
PROJECT SCOPE
Pemex used a public auction in which several companies were invited to
participate as owner-operators for Ethylene XXI. Mexicos Ideas Group and
Brazils Braskem were selected as the companies to create the new JV. Both
companies presented the best proposal for the development of Ethylene XXI.
The new petrochemical complex will meet domestic demand for petrochemical
products and replace imported materials with high-quality petrochemicals at
highly competitive prices. One goal for Ethylene XXI is to replace 40% of
current PE imports. The project will also enable production of more value-added
products by monetizing ethane as a raw material for petrochemicals rather
than consuming it as energy.
Startup of the new facility is forecast to begin during the second half of 2016.
Part of the package offered by Pemex was a long-term agreement to supply
ethane for the next 20 years. The ethane supply will be an addition to what
Pemex already supplies to Pemex Petrochemical.
PROCESS UNITS
The project includes the construction and operation of several process plants,
including an ethane cracker, with a nominal capacity of approximately one
million tpy (MMtpy) of ethylene; two high-density PE (HDPE) plants, with
capacities of approximately 400 Mtpy and 350 Mtpy; and one low-density PE
(LDPE) unit with a capacity of approximately 300 Mtpy. The ethylene produced
at the cracker will be used as raw material for the three PE plants.
The facilities will be located in the municipality of Nanchital de Lzaro Crdenas
del Rio, in the state of Veracruz (southeast Mexico) near the PEMEX Cangrejera
petrochemical complex. It is in close proximity to the PEMEX Pajaritos Maritime
Terminal, on the shore of the Gulf of Mexico, which is the main petrochemicalproducing region in Mexico.
TECHNOLOGY LICENSORS AND CONTRACTORS
The ethane cracker technology is licensed from Technip. The HDPE technology
is from INEOS, one of the largest chemical companies in the world; while the
LDPE technology is licensed from LyondellBasell, the worlds third-largest
independent chemical company. Odebrecht-ICA Fluor are the contractors for
the site preparation and construction phases. The engineering, procurement
and construction (EPC) will be conducted by a JV venture between Technip and
Odebrecht-ICA Fluor
The ethylene is produced by the pyrolysis of ethane in direct-fired-heated
furnaces. Polymer-graded ethylene is separated from coproducts via a
purification train, and is sent to the HDPE and LDPE units. For LDPE operations,
the ethylene is subjected to gas-phase, free-radical polymerization under high
pressures, using a tubular reactor. With the additions of peroxides and
modifiers, up to 17 types of LDPE resins can be produced. The HDPE process is
a low-pressure, low-temperature reaction using continuous liquid-phase
reactors. Ethylene and comonomer, in the presence of an activator, produce
the HDPE resin.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Besides the construction of the major plants, the project also includes
infrastructure installations, such as an underground 3.7-km water pipeline to
the PEMEX La Cangrejera water system located to the north of the project site,
and an underground 1.6-km ethylene pipeline from a distance less than 1 km
from the site fence line. As an alternate ethylene supply from the PEMEX
facility to the PE units, an underground 1.6-km pipeline for natural gas will be
supplied from PEMEX at a connecting pipeline located 1 km south of the project
site; and a 5-km electricity transmission line from the substation will furnish
400 MW. HP
