ENERGY-<\/p>\n

#1- New USD 660 mn supply chain company for Alexandria's petrochemicals industry:<\/strong> The Oil Ministry has announced the establishment of Alexandria for Supply Chain Company \u2014 a USD 660 mn joint venture aimed at setting up a permanent offshore facility at the Dekheila Port in Alexandria, according to a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

(Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links <\/strong>to our background as well as external sources.)<\/p>\n

The details:<\/strong> The new company is a collaboration between the state-owned entities Egyptian Petrochemicals Holding, Sidi Kerir Petrochemicals, and Egyptian Natural Gas Company alongside private sector player Gama Construction. The company aims to import 1.1 mn tons of liquefied ethane gas a year, ensuring a steady supply of raw materials for the petrochemical industry in the region. <\/p>\n

Remember:<\/strong> Plans to establish a company to facilitate ethane imports emerged<\/a> in then-unconfirmed reports back in June after Sidpec was forced to shut down operations<\/a> due to a \u201clack of feed gasses,\u201d a result of high temperatures, increasing electricity consumption prices, and cuts to the regional gas supply.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

#2- Assiut refinery set for a major expansion:<\/strong> The government is reportedly planning to set up a new atmospheric distillation unit at its Assiut oil refinery in 2027, with investments exceeding EGP 10 bn, an unnamed government official told Asharq Business<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What we know:<\/strong> The new unit will have an annual capacity of 5 mn tons of crude oil and also include a facility for producing butane cooking gas. The expansion is part of a broader plan to upgrade the Assiut refinery, which currently has an annual capacity of 4.5 mn tons.<\/p>\n

The details:<\/strong> The project will house around 300 clinics, research centers, central laboratories, a blood bank, and other services \u2014 it will have a total capacity of more than 4.2k beds. Establishing a residential area to house staff and a hotel to cater to medical tourism is also part of the plan.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s net debt climbed to EGP 4.1 bn in 1Q 2024, up from EGP 3.9 bn a year earlier, as it worked toward a \u201cdebt optimization strategy [that relies] on spontaneous financing,\u201d it said in its latest earnings release (pdf)<\/a>.
