The Amiral petrochemical complex<\/strong>, located in Jubail, Saudi Arabia<\/a><\/strong>is scheduled to begin operations in 2027 as part of a joint strategy between Saudi Aramco and TotalEnergies. This integrated project with the SATORP refinery will represent an investment of US$11 billion, anchoring both companies in high value-added industrial development. <\/p>\n\n

About the Amiral complex<\/h2>\n\n

Amiral will be directly linked to the SATORP refinery<\/a><\/strong>refinery, jointly owned by Saudi Aramco (62.5%) and TotalEnergies (37.5%). This complex will include a mixed feed cracker with the capacity to produce 1.65 million tons of ethylene per year, in addition to two polyethylene lines of 500,000 tons each. <\/p>\n\n

Units for the production of butadiene, aromatics and other high-value derivatives will also be installed.<\/p>\n\n

In 2023, both companies awarded<\/a><\/strong> engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts for the project, kicking off a key execution phase. These awards mark the operational commitment to start up a facility that will transform refinery products and take advantage of feedstocks such as ethane and light naphtha provided by Saudi Aramco. <\/p>\n\n

Link to the specialized products park<\/h2>\n\n

Amiral will not operate in isolation, as it will supply an adjacent park where dedicated specialty chemical plants will be established. This industrial synergy is expected to facilitate the manufacture of fibers, lubricants, additives, detergents and auto parts, consolidating an advanced production ecosystem in Jubail. <\/p>\n\n

The Amiral start-up will generate around 7,000 direct and indirect local jobs. TotalEnergies and Saudi Aramco will implement training programs for the local workforce. In addition, the project has been designed under strict environmental standards: part of the hydrogen<\/a><\/strong> generated will replace methane as fuel in the refinery’s furnaces, reducing its carbon footprint. <\/p>\n\n
