Construction of facilities for production of polypropylene and high-density polyethylene, which are planned to be commissioned in 2018 as part of the SOCAR Polymer project, has been completed by 91 and 71 percent.

SOCAR reported that company President Rovnag Abdullayev and the company management took part in the opening ceremony of an administrative and utility building on the production site of the Ethylene-Polyethylene plant on September 21.

“Overhaul of the building under the new project started in 2016. Repair and installation of the heating system was carried out as part of SOCAR’s joint project with the Baku office of the UN. Special insulating materials were used in facade cladding to save energy,” SOCAR said.

“Within the project of the Ethylene-Polyethylene plant modernization, which will be implemented in stages until 2019, work is ongoing to upgrade technological units, build new facilities and auxiliary sites,” reads the message.

SOCAR is a wholly state-owned national oil company headquartered in Baku, Azerbaijan. The company produces oil and natural gas from onshore and offshore fields in the Azerbaijani section of the Caspian Sea. Statoil has been operating in Azerbaijan since 1992 and is one of the largest foreign investors.

The company includes such production associations as Azneft (the enterprises producing oil and gas onshore and offshore), Azerikimya (the chemical enterprises) and Azerigas (distributor of gas produced in the country), as well as oil and gas processing plants, service companies, and the facilities involved in geophysical and drilling operations.

SOCAR Polymer, the project of international standing, is the first of its kind and scale in the petrochemical industry, to be implemented in Azerbaijan over the past 40 years.

SOCAR Polymer was founded on July 16, 2013 in order to reinforce the development of the chemical industry of the country. The company’s production facilities consisting of polypropylene and high density polyethylene plants are under construction within the territory of the Sumgayit Chemical Industrial Park.
