• What is Aramco’s Jazan Refinery & Petrochemical Complex?
  • At the heart of the project is Aramco¡¯s fully integrated Jazan Refinery and Petrochemical Complex ¡ª the result of an estimated $21 billion of investment ¡ª which, when operational, is expected to produce both high-value products, and power, in a more sustainable way.
  • What is the Jazan oil refinery?
  • The Jazan oil refinery, which is designed to have an output capacity of up to 400,000 barrels per day (BPD), is a vital part of the set-up. This full-conversion refinery, when it is at its full capacity, is planned to have a wide portfolio which includes gasoline and ultra-light sulfur diesel (ULSD), as well as benzene and paraxylene.
  • What is Aramco doing in Saudi Arabia?
  • Aramco¡¯s newly built full conversion Jazan Refinery Complex in the southwest of Saudi Arabia alongside the Red Sea, is currently in final commissioning, and refining at half its full capacity of 400,000 barrels per day. The 17-km2 strives to maximize the hydrocarbon¡¯s value through production of multiple byproducts within the same facility.
  • Who owns Saudi Aramco & totalenergies?
  • The complex will ultimately be owned and operated by the SATORP refinery. In 2008, TotalEnergies and Saudi Aramco established the first joint venture between the two companies, culminating in the construction of SATORP, a refining and petrochemical platform located in the industrial city of Jubail on the country’s east coast.

  • Aramco¡¯s investment in the Jazan Refinery Complex highlights our determination to support the Kingdom¡¯s vision for Jazan City, and the surrounding region, to become a more prominent and more diversified economic hub.
  • How does Jazan refining work?
  • Molecular chains of the heavier fractions are then cracked down in a hydrocracker to produce more valuable premium products, making the most out of every hydrocarbon. However, smart planning means Jazan refining is far from simple ¡ª the refinery is also a gas and power plant, plus it produces petrochemicals.
