ADNOC, Borouge, Borealis to build China polyolefins complex with Wanhua Chemical
Adds background in paragraphs 6-7, details on ADNOC subsidiary deal with Wanhua JV in paragraphs 8-11
DUBAI, July 23 (Reuters) -Abu Dhabi petrochemicals firm Borouge BOROUGE.AD said on Tuesday it planned to build a polyolefins complex in China with Wanhua Chemical 600309.SS through a consortium with ADNOC and Borealis, as it seeks to boost growth in its core Asia market.
A consortium of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), Borouge and Borealis signed a project collaboration agreement with Wanhua and its subsidiary Wanrong New Materials (Fujian) to build the complex.
Borealis is a joint venture owned 75% by Austria's OMV and 25% by ADNOC. Borouge is a joint venture between ADNOC and Borealis in which they hold 54% and 36%, respectively.
The proposed project in Fuzhou, Fujian province, would produce 1.6 million metric tons per annum (mtpa) of speciality polyolefins, Borouge said in a stock exchange filing.
The consortium plans to set up a joint venture with Wanrong New Materials with ownership split equally between Chinese and foreign holdings, Borouge said.
ADNOC and OMV have been in talks for over a year about a merger of Borouge and Borealis, which would create a chemicals group with over $20 billion in annual sales.
At the end of February, ADNOC said it bought a 24.9% stake in OMV from Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund Mubadala, without disclosing the financial terms. It said the deal increased ADNOC's shareholding in both Borouge and Borealis but did not disclose the ownership breakdown.
Another ADNOC unit, ADNOC Logistics & Shipping, separately announced on Tuesday a shipbuilding agreement for AW Shipping, its joint venture with Wanhua set up in 2020 to expand its global footprint and boost industrial ties between the UAE and China.
AW Shipping has awarded shipbuilding contracts to China's Jiangnan Shipyard, worth roughly $1.9 billion, ADNOC L&S said.
The deal includes contracts to build nine Very Large Ethane Carriers (VLECs) for about $1.4 billion and two Very Large Ammonia Carriers (VLACs) for $250 million each, with an option for two more VLACs at the same price.
The AW joint venture was set up after a 10-year liquefied petroleum gas supply contract between ADNOC and Wanhua in 2018.
