The expansion of Western Desert Gas Complex (WDGC) is located in El-Amreya, Alexandria, Egypt. Once operational, the new Train D will increase WDGC’s production capacity to 1.5 bcfd, up from the current 950 MMcfd, with a capacity of 600 MMcfd. This expansion will not only boost the supply of ethane-propane mixture for Egyptian petrochemical producers but also increase WDGC’s production of LPG and condensates for the local market.

PEMEX is investing in constructing two new coker plants at the Tula refinery and Salina Cruz refinery, scheduled to go online in 2024, to phase out fuel oil production. The Salina Cruz cracking refinery, located in Oaxaca, Mexico, is a non-integrated cracking facility owned by Petroleos Mexicanos. It commenced operations in 1979 and boasts a Nelson Complexity Index (NCI) of 8.1. Works on the Salina Cruz unit began in 2022. The plant is expected to contribute to the elimination of fuel oil and the increased production of ultra-low sulfur gasoline and diesel at the refinery.
