BACKGROUND

 

Eleme Petrochemicals Company Limited was incorporated on 30th November, 1988 as a private Limited Liability Company with Registration Number (RC: 121777). The corporate head office is located at Waterline House, 5151, Aba Road, Port Harcourt, River State, Nigeria.  It is a polyolefin producer based in Port Harcourt, River State, Nigeria. Eleme was a 100 per cent subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). The Indorama Group was declared core investor by the National Council of Privatization in 2005.  The privatization process of EPCL began in May 2005 and was completed in May 2006.

 

Eleme Petrochemicals is poised to become one of the leading suppliers of polyolefins in the African continent. The company strives to ensure total customer satisfaction and consistently produce high quality products. The company focuses on providing world-class products at competitive prices and customised grades to suit the customers specific requirements.

 

The Eleme Petrochemicals complex is located at Eleme town near the Nigerian city of Port Harcourt in Rivers State. It was built in 1995 by a consortium, comprising of Chiyoda, JGC, and Kobe Steel of Japan, Technimont of Italy, and Spie Batignolles of France. The complex comprises of an olefins unit, a polyolefins unit, a captive power plant and other supporting units. EPCL is strategically positioned to feed the growing demand of plastics in Africa. With state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, the complex consists of a gas feed cracker unit and two main downstream plants. The total production is over 550 KTA of world-class olefins and polyolefins.

 

The Eleme Complex is designed to produce 240,000 metric tons of polyethylene per year, and 95,000 metric tons per year of polypropylene. To produce these resins, natural gas liquid is cracked in a M.W. Kellogg (USA) licensed olefins plant. The polyethylene plant is a Sclairtech process licensed by Nova Chemicals and the propylene plant is Spheripol process of Basell. Additionally 22,000 metric tons of Butene-1 can be produced in the complex. Butene-1 is used as co-monomer in the production of linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE).

The first TurnAround Maintenance (TAM) was performed from 17 May 2006 until the end of September 2006. After the completion of all planned activities, the plants were operational on 15 September 2006. The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, in 2006, re-commissioned the new privatised and revitalised EPCL on 12 October 2006. The plant is situated on 400 hectares of land and potential expansion capabilities are well catered to in the layout design. Indorama is planning to make this complex the petrochemical hub of Africa by bringing it up to its full design capacity, and then undertaking expansion plans.

 

The company deploys professionals to deliver excellent and cost effective solutions to industry problems with a policy of involving the best and tested hands and rigorous supervision which provides safe working environment without compromising on quality.

 

Conclusion:

Based on our physical visit to the company and available information, it is our opinion that the company is engaged in legitimate business as such, any relationship with the company will likely be mutually beneficial.

INDUSTRIAL OVERVIEW/ OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

 

Subject is operating in an industry with very great potentials. With the Local Content Initiative of the supervising agency, Nigerian indigenous companies now have exclusive rights up-to 30% of all contracts awarded within the oil & gas industry.  In cases where local expertise is lacking indigenous companies are encouraged to enter into technical partnership with foreign firms.  With this innovation, local indigenous companies now have regular access to bids and can also benefit from the transfer of technology and expertise from their foreign technical partners. The Gas sector according to the recent World Bank estimate is worth $ 284 million and it has the capacity for a 10% growth in the next three years. The current low supply of LPG of about 0.5kg/h/yr from Nigeria to West African Sub- Region as against the West African Average of 3.7kg/h/yr, gives room for more investors and expertise.

 

This sector of the economy has great potentials for intending investors.
