据ICIS-MRC网站12月14日莫斯科报道，据烃加工网信息显示，雪佛龙Lummus全球有限责任公司(CLG)和沙特阿美日前宣布，他们已经签署了一项联合合作和许可协议，共同开发和批准沙特阿美的稠油加工技术倡议(HOPI+)。
HOPI+旨在使用CLG的LC-精馏平台（统称为 LC-HOPI+）实现减压渣油和其他包括增量原油在内可用重质原料的相对较高的转化率。LC-HOPI+ 创新工艺有望帮助最大限度地减少资本支出和运营支出，并显著提高桶底升级的利润率。
LC-HOPI+创新流程有望帮助最小化资本支出和运营支出，并显著提高桶底升级的利润率。
2019年，沙特阿美技术人员加入了CLG在位于加利福尼亚州里士满的研发设施团队，以创建和开发初始概念试点测试。那里的成功促使针对不同工艺方案的进一步 HOPI+评估，这进一步帮助量化了该技术的附加值。
CLG董事总经理Ujjal Mukherjee表示，HOPI+与CLG的LC-精馏平台相结合，是一种创新概念，可同时提高稠油产量并将残渣转化为有价值的运输燃料和石化原料，同时最大限度地减少资本投入和能源成本。随着我们开发、追求和商业化新的创新技术，该倡议进一步加强了沙特阿美和CLG之间的关系。
雪佛龙Lummus Global和沙特阿美现在打算在CLG全球商业化之前共同开发LC-HOPI+技术。

Saudi Aramco and Chevron Lummus Global to co-develop Aramco HOPI+ technology
Chevron Lummus Global LLC (CLG) and Saudi Aramco announced that they have signed a joint collaboration and license agreement to co-develop and license Saudi Aramco's Heavy Oil Processing Initiative (HOPI+) technology, according to Hydrocarbonprocessing.
HOPI+ aims to achieve relatively higher conversion of vacuum residue and other available heavy feeds, including incremental crude, using CLG's LC-FINING platform (jointly referred to as LC-HOPI+). The LC-HOPI+ innovative process is expected to help minimize both CAPEX and OPEX and significantly improve margins for bottom-of-the-barrel upgrading.
In 2019, Saudi Aramco joined CLG at its research and development facility in Richmond, California, to create and develop the initial concept pilot testing. Success there led to further HOPI+ evaluations against different process schemes, which further helped quantify the technology's added value.
"HOPI+, combined with CLG's LC-FINING platform, is an innovative concept that simultaneously increases crude throughput and converts residue to valuable transportation fuels and petrochemical feedstock while minimizing capital and energy," said Ujjal Mukherjee, Managing Director, CLG. "The initiative further strengthens the relationship between Saudi Aramco and CLG as we develop, pursue and commercialize new and innovative technology."
Chevron Lummus Global and Saudi Aramco now intend to co-develop LC-HOPI+ technology before global commercialization by CLG.
