Petronas, as it is known, will construct a crude oil refinery with a capacity of 300,000 barrels a day, a naphtha cracker, petrochemicals and polymer facilities in Pengerang, in the country’s southern state of Johor, Prime Minister Najib Razak told reporters in Kuala Lumpur today. “This signifies the depth of Petronas’s ambition to capture the opportunities that Asia’s dynamic energy and chemical markets are expected to provide in the decades ahead, especially in the specialty chemicals segment,” Najib said. The naphtha cracker will produce about 3 million tons of ethylene, propylene and olefins a year, Petronas said in its statement. The accompanying petrochemicals and polymer complex will make highly specialized chemicals it said. This would be bigger that the combined capacity of its existing facilities in Kerteh and Gebeng on Peninsular Malaysia’s east coast, it said. Southeast Asia's refinery and petrochemical sector, which was already enjoying a strong outlook thanks to high oil prices and firm global demand, has received an additional boost from the March earthquake and subsequent nuclear crisis. There are two reasons for that, say analysts: higher product prices, helped by supply shortages in Japan, and expectations that Japan's reconstruction effort will fuel demand for energy. "In general, the impact on refiners and petrochemical producers will be positive given initial interrupted supply from Japan and continued disruptions from the weaker power supply," said Andrew Wong, an energy analyst at Standard & Poor's in Singapore. "This would impact Japan's exports of middle distillates and (the petrochemical) paraxylene and tighten the supply side within the region," Wong said. Oil demand from Japan, the world's third-biggest oil consumer, is expected to mirror the trend in 1995, when it rebounded quickly after a big earthquake in Kobe. "A clearer sign of rising demand should emerge in the second half," said Kim Eng Securities analyst Nathavut Shivaruchiwong. Refining margins in Asia are higher than in Europe, averaging more than $12 a barrel over the past week at complex refineries processing Dubai crude, up from an average of less than $6 in the past year. Petronas Chemicals, which exports 55 percent of its products to Asia, is forecast to report a 19 percent rise in net profit for January-March, according to two analysts polled by Reuters. "Petronas Chemicals should see a couple of good quarters from the better international pricing (of end-products)...and could outperform on dividends," said Gan Eng Peng, chief equities manager for HwangDBS Asset Management in Kuala Lumpur.
