  1. Aden Refinery Company Working Paper on "Development and Upgrading of Aden Refinery" Presented to The Third Yemeni Conference on Oil, Gas and Minerals.

  2. INTRODUCTION Aden Refinery previously called British Petroleum Co. (B.P.) was established in the 1st of November, 1952. Commissioned in the 29th July 1954. On 1st May, 1977 B.P. handed over the refinery to the government. Since that date the Refinery Co. (A.R.C.) was successful in establishing new relations and activities with foreign companies and governments which have always led for benefits to all parties. The company has always had a satisfactory economical situation which had enable the construction of new projects. Rehabilitation of others and major repairs to plants and services.

  3. Refinery Units 8- Autofiner Unit 9- Refinery Tank Farm 10- Power Station 11- Refinery Jetties 12- Main Workshops 13- Training Centre 14- Hospital 15- Social facilities 1- Crude Distillation 2- De-ethanizer Unit(L.P.G Unit) 3- Vacuum Unit 4- Asphalt Unit 5- Drum Making and Filling 6- Platformer Unit 7- SO2 extraction / Production Unit

  4. REQUIRED DEVELOPMENT AND UPGRADING CURRENTLY PUT FORWARD

  5. The Aden Refinery Company ( ARC ) is putting forward for execution a project for upgrading and modernization the existing facilities by transforming the Aden Refinery into a full conversion that will produce clean transportation fuels as well as petrochemical intermediates ,of high quality and friend-to-the environment. • ARC has completed the following initial studies of this project: • Configuration Study prepared by UOP ( February 2008 ) . • Bankable Feasibility Study , prepared by Foster Wheeler (April 2009) . • According to these studies the Refinery Upgrading Project is : • A new and modern refinery with all its units and utilities will be constructed within the existing refinery territory while utilizing only the existing storage , piping and jetty facilities . • This new refinery would utilize one of two possible crude oils: • Masila and Kuwait (150000 BPSD).

  6. The new refinery would include : • Single Atmospheric Crude Distillation Unit ( CDU ). • Naphtha Hydrotreater ( HTD ) . • Naphtha Splitter. • Continous Catalytic Reformer(CCR). • Isomerisation Unit. • Reformate Splitter. • Sulfolane Unit. • Benzene Recovery Unit . • Toluene Recovery Unit . • Xylene Recovery Unit . • Merox Units . • Distillate hydrotreater ( DHT ) . • Residue Catalytic Cracker ( RFCC ) . • Gasoline hydrotreater Unit . • Propylene Recovery Unit. • Amine Absorbers & Regenerating Unit . • Hydrogen Generation Unit. • Sulpher Plant . • Atmospheric Residue Desulphurization Unit ( ARDC ) in case of Kuwait crude . (By this Configuration the refinery would produce clean transportations fuels including unleaded gasoline as well mixed xylene & benzene suitable for petrochemical industries which will open a new window for investment in Yemen) .

  7. The main Units Capacities are as follows :

  8. Material Balance (feed of crude oil /final output of products)

  9. Project Economics: • Estimated Execution Time : • - Five years for both cases (Masila case , Kuwait case). • Of which 9 months for tendering to carry out the project "turnkey"for both cases.)

  10. Steps achieved towards execution : • 1. Initial studies as mentioned above. • 2. Agreements of licenses and engineering works (schedule A): • C.C.R Process License Agreement . • Isomerisation Process License Agreement . • Sulfolane Process License Agreement • Engineering Agreement for Naphtha Complex . • Engineering Agreement For Aromatic Complex . • Where all these agreements had been signed with UOP . Concerning the existing units in the refinery, to guarantee theirreasonable continuation even until the upgrading project is executed and the new refinery is operated, they will get the following projects which will be executed through tenders verysoon: • Economics improvement project for Atmospheric distillation units. • Economics improvement project for Reformer Unit . • New Power Station Project ( To replace the existing one ). • No.1 Jetty Loading Arms replacement Project . • Economics improvement project for Aden Bunkering Dept .

  11. Required Funding for Execution of the Upgrading Project

  12. The above mentioned estimated primary cost was prepared during the world market prosperity period where most of the specialized companies and factories were busy with similar projects (preparing , execution \ manufacturing ) . But after the preparation of the Front End Engineering Design ( FEED ) and the final estimated cost of this Project , this cost may be less than the - 30% of the above mentioned estimated primary cost . ( shown below in its minimum and maximum limits, +30%,-30%) . Accordingly, ARC recommends to carry out its upgrading project completely with Kuwait case which involves great returns and profits, and also in order to seize the present available opportunity as the world market is looking for its recovery. However, it does not object to accept any proposals to carry out this project in stages in order to reduce the financial burden resulting from financing the whole project at one stage .
