ACTION ITEMS FROM THE BOARD MEETING
Study Adjustment to the Refinery to flex the crude
intake: Study what “minimal adjustments” can be done to
the refinery to flex the crude intake (moving from 100% AH
to 100% AL). In other words, what minimal adjustments
could be done to the refinery design and/or construction to
process the max intake of AL. This flexibility would be
valuable when the crude differentials change and it is more
economical to process increased volumes of AL in the
Refinery.

Sulfur Handling Agreement with Luberef: Ensure that
environmental obligations are covered and that YASREF
would not incur additional environmental obligations and
Ali Al-Ajmi
liability as a result of the agreement. If YASREF is
expected to face higher environmental obligations and
liability, the costs and apportionment of these obligations
and liabilities should be fully addressed.
TYCO: Review the Tyco supply of material and/or services
Maher Barghouthi
to YASREF.
MMG Situation: Address MMG situation to mitigate all
risks to YASREF.
MSA/FAA
During YERP's FEED phase and based on a request from
Aramco Facility Planning Department (FPD) to study
and analyze the impacts of running AL crude in the
refinery, several LP Model runs were performed for
summer cases, and one case indicated: If the crude
charge rate is dropped to 358 MBD, a 100% AL can be
processed before hitting the naphtha processing limit.
In this case the coker unit is severely underutilized and
there will be 7% & 7% drop in the white products yield;
namely, gasoline & diesel respectively and 19% & 51%
drop in the by-products yield; namely, sulfur & coke
respectively compared to the refinery products yield
when running at the base case of 400 MBD 100% AH
crude.
Path forward
Engineering will coordinate closely with the concerned
YASREF department to utilize YASREF contracting
mechanism/procedure to execute a consulting services
agreement with third party consultant to update the
current LP/PIMS Model to reflect the latest detailed
design information as well as the latest price structure.
This LP Model’s update (with the latest information) is
essential to fully verify and validate the LP runs that will
examine & determine the refinery feed rate, production
slates, products yield and unit’s capacity utilization
when running the refinery at different AL/AH crude mix.
Additionally, the LP Model will be expanded to include
the operational flexibility required to process and
operate the refinery at different AL/AH crude mix.
Please provide more detail on where we stand on this
action.
An ongoning effort by the Program to rectify the MMG
situation. Team is in the process of provding
information to the P&CEO
