II. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND RISKS EVALUATION OF OFFSHORE DRILLING
_____________________________________________________________________________
43
Etablissement
Designation
Activity
CP1K
Plastics complex
Production of 120,000 tonnes of ethylene.
CTE
Thermal power plant
A combined-cycle power plant has a capacity of 880 MW to
generate more electricity from the country’s large gas reserves
ENGI
National distribution and
gas transport company
National electricity and gas company, specializing in the
production and distribution and marketing of electricity and
the purchase, transmission, distribution and marketing of
natural gas.
HELISON
Helium and nitrogen
production unit
A joint venture between LINDE and SONATRACH aims to
build and put into production and operate a helium extraction
and liquefaction plant..
RA1K
Refinery Complex
Based on atmospheric distillation, the platforming unit and the
gas-plant unit are used to upgrade propane and butane.
Produces butane with 110.000t/year, nafta
(3.9 million t/year), jet fuel (565.000t/year), heavy gas oil
(280.000t/year) and light gas oil (115.000 t/year).
RTE
Hydrocarbon Pipeline
Transport unit
SOMIK
Industrial Maintenance
Company
A strong and professional specialized maintenance entity that
supports the important needs of SKIKDA’s hydrocarbons
division in terms of industrial maintenance.
GL2K
Liquefaction Complex,
new project
Designed to transform a very large amount of natural gas from
gaseous to liquid.
STH
Nouveau port
Hydrocarbon
Transportation Company
A commercial port for petroleum materials, with a dock with a
capacity of 23 million tons of oil.
TOPIC
Topping Condensats
An oil refinery with a processing capacity of approximately 5
million tones /year.
Table 3: Industrial activities of the petrochemical complex
In the petrochemical pole, the concentration of activities generates pollution of the water and the
atmosphere. The discharges from these companies are discharged either directly into the sea or
via Oued Saf-Saf which also ends in the sea.
The industrial zone has an indisputable national economic interest, but on the local aspect, it has
a rather negative impact such as: Demographic explosion, Anarchisassions of the built space, etc.
There are also various pipelines (gas, oil and multi-product) that cross the region. These pipes
pose a risk of explosion and pollution of the area.
