據烴加工新聞7月13日消息稱，布魯克能源公司是一家位于霍爾木茲海峽外、毗鄰阿聯酋富查伊拉港的中游石油儲存和服務提供商，宣布其全資子公司布魯克石油天然氣投資公司(BPGIC) 與一家石油貿易公司簽署了一項煉油廠協議，將建設一座每天2.5萬桶的模塊化煉油廠。

　　BPGIC將把土地轉租給石油貿易公司，石油貿易公司將負責建設煉油廠，并承擔全部建設費用。建設完成后，BPGIC 將負責運營煉油廠，以照付不議的方式從通行費中賺取收入。BPGIC 與石油貿易公司之間的協議包括一份為期 20 年的收費合同，其中包括一份從煉油廠建設完成后開始的五年合同，以及三個續約期，每期五年。

　　布魯克能源公司和 BPGIC 的首席執行官 Nicolaas L. Paardenkooper 表示：“模塊化煉油廠將專注于生產極低硫燃料油 (VLSFO)，并將完全符合新的 IMO 2020 極低硫規定。隨著阿聯酋石油產能的增加，我們預計這將推動國內和出口市場對煉油服務的需求，我們認為這是進入石油行業這一領域的好時機。該協議是推進這些計劃的低風險方法，因為石油貿易伙伴將擁有該資產，并承擔建設成本和任何油價風險，而我們的重點仍然是作為設施運營商的我們的專業領域。這將為布魯克能源公司帶來更多收入，并帶來有利的EBITDA利潤率。”

　　Brooge Energy signs agreement with oil trader

　　Brooge Energy Ltd, a midstream oil storage and service provider located outside the Strait of Hormuz, adjacent to the port of Fujairah in the UAE, has announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Brooge Petroleum and Gas Investment Co. FZE (BPGIC) has signed a refinery agreement with an oil trading company for a 25 000 bpd modular refinery.

　　BPGIC will sublease land to the oil trading company, which will be responsible for constructing the refinery including bearing the full cost of construction. When construction is complete, BPGIC will be responsible for operating the refinery, earning revenue from tolling fee on a take-or-pay basis. The agreement between BPGIC and the oil trading company includes a tolling contract for a tenure of 20 years, consisting of a five-year contract to commence upon completion of the construction of the refinery, and three renewal periods of five years each.

　　Nicolaas L. Paardenkooper, CEO of Brooge Energy and BPGIC, said: “The modular refinery will be focused on producing very low sulfur fuel oil (VLSFO) and will be fully compliant with the new IMO 2020 very low sulfur rule. With the UAE adding to its oil production capacity, which we anticipate will drive demand for refining services for both the domestic and export market, we believe this is an opportune time to enter this segment of the oil industry. This agreement is a low-risk approach to advancing these plans as the oil trading partner will own the asset and take on the cost of construction and any oil price risk, while our focus remains in our area of expertise as the operator of the facility. This is expected to drive additional revenue to Brooge Energy, at favourable EBITDA margins.”
