  HENGYUAN ALLOCATES RM700 MILLION CAPITAL EXPENDITURE OVER THE NEXT 1-2 YEARS

Thursday 24/05/2018



To finance major projects for long-term refinery sustainability and compliance of upcoming regulations

KUALA LUMPUR, May 24 (Bernama) -- Regional major oil-refining company Hengyuan Refining Company Berhad (Hengyuan; Bloomberg: HYR:MK; Reuters: HENY.KL or “the Company”) is set to invest RM700 million in capital expenditure (CAPEX) over the next 12-24 months.
 
The RM700 million CAPEX allocations will primarily be used to finance two cornerstone projects, namely Euro4M Mogas and Atlas II. The two projects are essential for the Company to enhance operational reliability, capture commercial opportunities throughout the value chain and also comply with upcoming regulations on gasoline and diesel specifications.
 
Wang YouDe, Chairman, Hengyuan Refining Company Berhad:

“The high CAPEX commitment marks a significant juncture in the Company’s future, as we enter our next growth phase by implementing proven and advanced refinery technologies.

These critical investments enable us to achieve our dual objectives of complying with upcoming regulations, and further improving operational efficiencies to maximise refinery margins.

Thus, reaffirms our commitment to deliver high-quality fuels to customers and also ensuring the refinery’s long-term reliability and safety to provide sustainable growth for the years to come.” 
 
The Euro4M Mogas project faced a longer-than-expected duration to fabricate the main equipment, and is now scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2019.
 
‘While it’s unfortunate to experience a longer timeframe for the Euro4M Mogas project, but as a Company, we strive for operational excellence in a safe environment, and believe that this highly technical project must follow its due course. The adjusted timeline would not adversely impact Hengyuan’s commitment in meeting product delivery commitments and we would like assure our customers that there would be no disruption of supply,” Wang said.
 
The Atlas II will be completed during the refinery-wide 2018 Major Turnaround (MTA) exercise starting from August 2018. Once completed, the integrated complex will be able to produce 1.15 million tonnes per annum.

On top of the two projects, resources will be allocated to install facilities in order to comply with future regulatory requirements, namely Clean Air Regulation (CAR) and Euro 5 gasoil. These installations will tie-in during the scheduled shutdown in the third quarter of 2018, to avoid future refinery shutdowns.
