With a total cost of US$ 8.5 billion, it will be one of the largest petrochemical complexes in the world. Due for completion in 2013, COMPERJ will process 150,000 barrels per day of Marlin crude, which will increase Brazil’s heavy oil refining capacity and produce petrochemical products for internal and external markets.
This complex will bring together a first-generation refining and petrochemical facility producing ethylene, propylene, benzene, and paraxylene. The second-generation units will produce styrene, ethylene glycol, polyethylene, polypropylene, and PTA and includes the supply of water, steam and electrical energy for the whole complex.
WorleyParsons is providing proven mega project management and delivery know-how to yield optimum project execution to meet Petrobras’ goals and objectives. Our activities include; project integration services for the complex, licensing, and basic design and front-end engineering design (FEED) for the Auxiliary Units, utilities and offsites, commissioning, and start-up.
A unique approach has been the use of integrated workshops to define the key elements of site plan configuration, engineering systems for global implementation, procurement of key equipment and materials, constructability and logistics. WorleyParsons is providing early critical assessment to key areas, enabling Petrobras to obtain the data required to validate the aggressive schedule.
