Royal Dutch Shell Plc has commenced the startup process for some of the units at its US$4.3 billion joint venture petrochemical complex at Nanhai, South China. The project is scheduled to become fully operational at the end of 2005.
Shell and state-run China National Offshore Oil Corp are the JV partners at the Nanhai complex that revolves around a naphtha cracker with a capacity of 800,000 metric tpa ethylene. The JV is to import its naphtha and condensates feedstock until CNOOC completes the construction of an adjacent 240,000 bpd refinery at the end of June 2008.
