REFINERY MODERNIZATION PROJECT :

Considered as the greatest Refining achievement in the country

since the creation of LUBE OIL in 1984.

SAMIR refinery modernization project is part of the general program

subject of the investment agreement signed on December 20, 2004

between the Moroccan Government and SAMIR.

The overall budget is more than 1,2 billion US Dollars.

POST REFINERY UPGRADE

Domestic market impact:

Reduction of FO sales

Increase of Diesel demand

New Spec for Diesel and gasoline

Positive impact on the national economy and SAMIR refinery:

Configuration of the refinery to the structure of the domestic demand by

increasing the production of diesel fuel.

Protection of the environment and improvement of the quality of the air by the

production of cleaner fuels:

Diesel 50 and 10 ppm, (Euro 4 and 5)

Super unleaded, (Euro 3).

Allow to reach a level of competitiveness in line with that of the modern

European refineries.

PROJECT STEPS

Phase1: Diesel 50 ppm in July 2009.

Phase2: Hydrocracking Complex in march 2010.

The Project realization was conducted over a period of 40 months and required

25 million hours of work and 50 thousand tons of material and equipment.

25 Millions Working Hour without accident.

Project Execution

PROJECT CONSTRUCTION HIGHLIGHTS

The construction of the project started effectively on March 2006 with the

signature of the EPCM contract with SAIPEM and the ordering of the first

stage reactor.

DETAIL ENGINEERING

The project required more than 1.5 million working hours for the detail

engineering, and the procurement services carried out by the Italian company

SAIPEM.

PROCUREMENT

The company proceeded with the purchase of 760 equipments with a total

weight of 50,000 Tons.

Engineering, Procurement and Construction

The construction works totalized 25 million working hour without record of lost

time accident, major accidents or injuries.

Main key indicators:

Structural Concrete: 112 000 m3

Steel structure erection: 11 180 T

A/G Piping installation: 12 320 T

LV & MV cables pulling: 850 Km

Instruments erection: 9 135 U

Insulation: 161 000 m²

Painting: 131 000 m²

The number of the manpower reached 4 500 persons during the peak period.

Effective unit start up was on March 2010.

The performance test was carried out with the assistance of Licensor

Chevron on June 2010.

The unit performances were above the performances required by the

contract guaranties.

2013: TEST 107% capacity successful.
