Cilacap refinery upgrade project, Java, Indonesia.

Client
PT Pertamina (Persero) and Saudi Aramco.

Project Description
The project involves the capacity expansion of the Cilacap refinery to 370 000 bbl/d.

In addition, petrol and diesel production will be maximised, and the refinery will produce higher-quality base oils to be
sold domestically.

The upgrade will also enhance the petrochemicals capacity of the refinery to exceed more than 600 000 t/y of aromatics and 160 000 t/y of polypropylene.

The upgrade of the Cilacap refinery is part of Pertamina’s Refinery Development Master Plan to improve Indonesia’s energy security and involves the expansion and upgrade of its domestic refineries.

Value
The project is expected to cost between $4-billion and $5-billion to complete.

Duration
The front-end engineering design stage is expected to be completed in 2018, with the start of the engineering, procurement and construction phase expected to start in 2019.

The project upgrade is targeted for completion by the end of 2022.
