The scope under consideration would include a mono-ethylene glycol plant of up to 1.5 million tpy using Shell’s proprietary OMEGA (Only MEG Advantaged) technology and other olefin derivatives to yield over 2 million tons of finished products.
“I am delighted that we have the opportunity to further expand our partnership with Qatar Petroleum in petrochemicals,” said Peter Voser of Shell. “Shell has over 80 years of experience in the global chemicals industry, playing a major part in its growth worldwide and developing some of its key manufacturing processes. This new project will combine Shell’s experience and technology with the ambition of Qatar to create further value from its natural gas resources.”
Qatar Petroleum and Shell are also collaborating on the Pearl gas to liquids (GTL) project and Qatargas 4 LNG, both in Ras Laffan Industrial City.
