Ineos negotiates exit for China petrochemical venture

英力士公司就中国石化合资企业的退出进行谈判

Ineos is in negotiations with its partner, the Chinese state-owned oil and chemical company Sinopec, to exit their petrochemical joint venture in Tianjin, China. Ineos bought into the partnership in 2023, when the complex was already under construction. According to Sinopec, it started up in 2024. The facility has a 1.2 million-metric-ton-per-year ethylene cracker and downstream polyethylene and other derivatives units. In a financial report, Ineos said that move was "due to continuing weak market conditions in China." The joint venture, as well as another Ineos partnership with Sinopec, Shanghai Secco Petrochemical, lost money in the third quarter. When Ineos bought into Secco in 2022 it was supposed to be the start of a broader collaboration between the two firms.

英力士正在与其合作伙伴、中国国有石油及化工公司中国石化进行谈判，旨在退出双方在中国天津的石化合资企业。英力士于2023年入股这一合作关系，当时该工厂项目已处于建设阶段。根据中国石化提供的信息，该工厂于2024年投入运营。该设施拥有一个年产能为120万吨的乙烯裂解装置，以及下游的聚乙烯及其他衍生物生产单元。在一份财务报告中，英力士表示这一举措是"由于中国市场持续疲软的市场状况"。该合资企业以及英力士与中国石化、上海塞科石化公司的另一项合作，在第三季度均出现亏损。英力士于2022年入股塞科公司时，本希望这能成为两家公司更广泛合作关系的开端。
