The refinery will be built adjacent to the CNOOC-Shell Nanhai petrochemicals complex in Huizhou’s Daya Bay economic development zone at a cost of $A2.64 billion.
The facility will process 12 million tons of crude oil per year or 250,000 barrels per day from CNOOC's Penglai offshore field in Bohai Bay. The project will employ licensors, contractors, and manufacturers from Asia, Europe and the US.
WorleyParsons’ team will manage the project from the design phase to its handover to CNOOC for start-up.
The team will oversee the activities of Chinese and international contractors engaged in designing and building the facilities and will serve as the overall site manager until completion.
It will also manage aspects including safety and adherence to defined standards, minimisation of project cost and schedule, maximisation of Chinese content, execution of all contracting and procurement, and meeting targeted facility start-up dates.
