Based on available information, naphtha production and cracking product volumes are not matching.
· 540,000 BO/day / 25,000,000 tonnes/year of crude oil import (matching based on light crude oil API)
· Three CDU each with 160,000 BO/day capacity (8,333,333 tonnes/year)
· 3,750,000 tonnes of naphtha capacity as cracking feedstock (matching, corresponding to 15 weight-% of Crude Oil).
· Three crackers with cumulative 2,930,000 tonnes capacity for ethylene production: NOT MATCHING, as three times as much naphtha would be needed compared with ethylene, or 8,800,000 tonnes, corresponding to a deficit of 5 million tonnes of naphtha.
