Kemya, located in Jubail, is a 50/50 joint venture between SABIC and ExxonMobil, established in 1980. In 2016, SABIC and ExxonMobil completed construction of a new elastomers plant at Kemya. The facilities are integrated with the existing Al-Jubail complex, and this new synthetic rubber project represents a significant broadening of Kemya’s product portfolio. With a total investment of US $3.4 billion, the elastomers facility has the capacity to produce up to 400,000 tons per year including: Halobutyl rubber, Polybutadiene and styrene butadiene rubber, Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubbers, Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) and Carbon black. The facility employs commercially competitive, high-impact technologies, including proprietary ExxonMobil EPDM, thermoplastic elastomer and halobutyl rubber technologies. In May 2011, Sabic and ExxonMobil awarded the front end engineering and design (FEED) contracts for the process units of the project to Jacobs Engineering and Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding. Fluor Transworld Services was awarded the FEED contract for associated support facilities. Kemya has awarded a total of six packages for the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts for the elastomers facility to: Daelim Industries, Technip, and Tecnicas Reunidas. The project will be implemented via EPC lump sum turnkey mode. Daelim won the package 3, worth $ 710 million, to construct indirect support facilities and auxiliary facilities (utilities & offsites) for the Kemya Saudi Elastomers Project. Technip was awarded the Halobutyl unit to produce 110,000 t/y and will execute the contract from its Abu Dhabi office in UAE. The Kemya elastomers facility demonstrates Saudi Arabia‘s commitment to mobilize all the technologies from ExxonMobil, Sabic, Continental, Goodyear around the most experienced engineering companies (Daelim, Fluor, Jacobs, Mitsui, Technip, Tecnicas Reunidas) to build and champion a first-rate synthetic rubber industry in Saudi Arabia that supports job creation, develops downstream industries and helps diversify the local economy.
