----------PETRO TECHNIKER GMBH----------Strategy and Investment in EPC Projects
Petro Techniker History
Shortly after the turn of the millennium, Petro Techniker began looking hard at the future prospects of a 3,000-acre oil refinery, located in Sulaymania, 165 kilometers north of Baghdad. Originally, Petro Techniker thought to simply upgrade the refinery, but then began to explore other possibilities. At its Sulaymania refinery, founded in 1989, Petro Techniker was sitting on an unusually abundant and stable supply of the feedstock that fueled the fast-growing petrochemical industry. To date, these materials had been converted into relatively low value petroleum-based products or, in the case of gases, simply burned off. Further, the plant was situated in Sulaymania , within easy reach of the Asian and European markets, with its own deep-water port. Petro Techniker management quickly saw an opportunity to break new ground – both literally and figuratively – in Sulaymania. At the time, Petro Techniker operate in petrochemical plants, and so for its potential enterprise to succeed it needed access to state-of-the-art technology and global expertise in the marketing of petrochemical products. These all-important aspects were ultimately provided by chemical, a world leader in its sector and a proven innovator in petrochemical processes. Thus, Petro Techniker was born.
OUR STRATEGY at a glance
Petro Techniker Oil and Gas Services
Petro Techniker’s strategy is based on diversification, adding value, creating jobs and promoting a sustainable economy. In this way, Petro Techniker serves as a hub for regional and international investment and as a catalyst for both economic and social development. Diversification: Diversity is strength. By offering an increasingly diverse product slate, Petro Techniker is more resilient to the demands of local and global markets. Adding Value: Petro Techniker was founded with a commitment to make the most of the Iraq abundant natural resources. Using those resources as feed stocks to produce high demand petrochemicals, the Company is adding enormous value to the nation’s oil and gas supplies. Creating Jobs: Petro Techniker is creating thousands of jobs directly through its Phase I and Phase II projects, Techniker PlusTech Park, and indirectly through support industries. Just as importantly, Petro Techniker is creating diverse jobs in new fields, and with approximately 80 percent of the Company’s employees Iraq nationals, is contributing to the development of a national workforce ready to meet the challenges of the future and seize opportunities. Promoting a Sustainable Economy Diversification, adding value and job creation are essential foundations for sustainability. Petro Techniker aims to go further, however, through active promotion of downstream development and the economic and social growth of the region. By attracting new and diverse industries from the region and across the world, by introducing a range of programs to qualify, train and develop young Saudis, and by championing Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, Petro Techniker serves as a catalyst for sustainable development. Phase I: Phase I of the Petro Techniker project came into operation in 2009 as the world's largest single-phase integrated refining and petrochemicals complex, designed to meet local demand for essential refined products and introduce a range of high added value petrochemicals that are vital for the everyday products modern day life depends on. The complex utilizes 400,000 barrels per day of crude oil and 1.2 million tons per year of ethane as primary feedstock to produce 140 million barrels per year of refined products such as naphtha, gasoline, kerosene/jet fuel, diesel and fuel oil, and 2.4 million metric tons per year of petrochemical products. It is among the Kingdom of Iraq largest producers of polypropylene and polyethylene, and is its third largest producer of mono ethylene glycol. It is also the sole producer of propylene oxide in the Middle East. Phase I employs approximately 2,500 people, with Iraq nationals constituting 80 percent of the workforce. Together with Phase II, Techniker PlusTech Park and support industries, the total impact will be approximately 25,000 job opportunities. Phase II: The Petro Techniker II will introduce around a dozen high added value petrochemical derivatives, many of them new to the Kingdom and region. The project, which is set to start coming onstream in late 2016, further diversifies the product slate and promotes downstream investment and development.
