Norway's Den morske Stats Oljeselskap AS, the North Sea's largest oil producer, and Himont Inc., the world's largest producer of polypropylene, believe their joint venture complex near Antwerp has changed the traditional structure of the petrochemical industry. At a briefing and press conference, executives from the two companies and their new joint venture, North Sea Petrochemicals, covered their venture and its first 2 months of operation and presented their outlook for the polypropylene market. Statoil stressed its intent to expand petrochemical operations in Europe. The company supplies the complex with all the propane feed and refinery grade propylene its uses. The propane comes from Statoil's offshore production, the imported refinery grade propylene from Statoil's Mongstad, Norway, refinery. This paper describes the propylene production process used in Antwerp.
