據全球能源網8月7日轉發印度電訊報消息，印度最大的石油和天然氣生產商印度石油與天然氣公司（ONGC）公司董事長Arun Kumar Singh表示，該公司計劃在印度建立兩座石油化工廠，直接將原油轉化為高價值化學產品，以應對全球能源轉型所帶來的影響。

以ONGC等公司從海底和地下儲層抽取的原油作為主要能源來源。它在煉油廠中被加工成汽油、柴油和噴氣燃料。隨著全球逐漸向非化石燃料轉型，全球各地的公司都在尋找利用原油的新途徑。

石化產品是從原油中提取的化學產品，用于制造洗滌劑、纖維（聚酯、尼龍、丙烯酸等）、聚乙烯和其他人造塑料。

“預計對石化產品的需求將保持強勁，未來仍將是石油和天然氣需求的主要推動力?！盨ingh在公司最新的年度報告中表示。

“為此，ONGC正在與其他實體合作，探索在石化、煉油和石化領域的機會。我們還計劃在印度建立兩座綠地石油化工工廠。”

然而，他沒有透露具體細節。

該公司已經有兩個子公司，即位于卡納塔克邦曼格洛爾的曼格洛爾煉油廠和石化有限公司以及位于古吉拉特邦達赫杰的ONGC石化有限公司，它們都運營著石化裝置。

“印度石油公司有限公司（MRPL）和奧蘭加巴德石化有限公司（OPaL）正在積極參與從石油到石化行業的多元化計劃。”印度石油天然氣公司（ONGC）在2022—2023年度報告中表示。

“ONGC還在與其他參與者合作，探索石油石化工業發展的機會。”

India's Top Oil and Gas Producer onGC Planning to Set Up Two Oil-To-Chemical Plants

India’s top oil and gas producer onGC is planning to set up two oil-to-chemical plants in India to convert crude oil directly into high-value chemical products as it prepares for an energy transition that is shaking up the industry worldwide, chairman Arun Kumar Singh said.

Crude oil, which companies like onGC pump out from below the seabed and from underground reservoirs, is a primary source of energy. It is processed in oil refineries to produce petrol, diesel and jet fuel. With the world looking to transition away from fossil fuel, companies around the globe are looking at new avenues to use crude oil.

Petrochemicals are chemical products derived from crude oil and are used in the manufacturing of detergents, fibres (polyester, nylon, acrylic etc.), polythene and other man-made plastics.

“The demand for petrochemicals is expected to remain strong and will continue to be a key driver of oil and gas demand in the future,” Singh said in the firm’s latest annual report.

“With this objective, onGC is collaborating with other entities to explore opportunities in the oil to chemical (O2C), refining, and petrochemicals. We are also planning to set up two greenfield O2C plants in India.”

He, however, did not give details.

The firm already has two subsidiaries, Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited and onGC Petro-Additions Limited, that run petrochemical units at Mangalore in Karnataka and Dahej in Gujarat, respectively.

“MRPL and OPaL are strongly engaged in the diversification plan from oil to the petro-chemical sector,” Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) said in the 2022-23 annual report.

“onGC is also partnering with players to explore opportunities in the Oil to Chemical (O2C) and Oil to Petrochemicals (O2P).”
