据全球能源网8月7日转发印度电讯报消息，印度最大的石油和天然气生产商印度石油与天然气公司（ONGC）公司董事长Arun Kumar Singh表示，该公司计划在印度建立两座石油化工厂，直接将原油转化为高价值化学产品，以应对全球能源转型所带来的影响。

以ONGC等公司从海底和地下储层抽取的原油作为主要能源来源。它在炼油厂中被加工成汽油、柴油和喷气燃料。随着全球逐渐向非化石燃料转型，全球各地的公司都在寻找利用原油的新途径。

石化产品是从原油中提取的化学产品，用于制造洗涤剂、纤维（聚酯、尼龙、丙烯酸等）、聚乙烯和其他人造塑料。

“预计对石化产品的需求将保持强劲，未来仍将是石油和天然气需求的主要推动力。”Singh在公司最新的年度报告中表示。

“为此，ONGC正在与其他实体合作，探索在石化、炼油和石化领域的机会。我们还计划在印度建立两座绿地石油化工工厂。”

然而，他没有透露具体细节。

该公司已经有两个子公司，即位于卡纳塔克邦曼格洛尔的曼格洛尔炼油厂和石化有限公司以及位于古吉拉特邦达赫杰的ONGC石化有限公司，它们都运营着石化装置。

“印度石油公司有限公司（MRPL）和奥兰加巴德石化有限公司（OPaL）正在积极参与从石油到石化行业的多元化计划。”印度石油天然气公司（ONGC）在2022—2023年度报告中表示。

“ONGC还在与其他参与者合作，探索石油石化工业发展的机会。”

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).”
