PIC is among the biggest integrated petrochemical facilities in the region, and is PETRONAS' most significant downstream investment to date - amounting to USD27 billion.
It forms part of the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC), endorsed by the state government of Johor and the Federal Government, and is expected to transform Pengerang and Malaysia into a regional oil and gas powerhouse.
At the heart of the PIC is a multi-train refinery that processes imported crude oil into higher grade fuels for the nation's increasingly discerning consumption demand. The refinery also produces feedstock for the adjacent steam cracker complex which breaks this further into raw materials to feed PIC's petrochemical complex.
The petrochemical complex churns out a wide range of products, mostly premium and differentiated petrochemicals used to manufacture a variety of high-demand, higher-end consumer products.
Supporting PIC's operations to ensure its self-sufficiency and reliability.
Centralised Utilities
Raw Water Supply Facility
Deep Water Terminal
Liquified Natural Gas Terminal
Cogeneration Power Plant
Air Separation Unit
The entire complex is energy-efficient and has been deliberately configured to achieve a high level of integration for optimised product value delivery and resource utilisation.
PIC’s strategic location, with a secure harbour in sheltered waters close to busy international shipping lanes and demand centres, provides additional competitive advantages that help ensure its position as a leading petrochemical hub in the region.
Megastructures: An Integrated Petrochemical Giant
The crew of National Geographic Channel's documentary series, Megastructures goes behind the scenes to uncover PIC's journey from design to delivery.
Watch to see how this mega project came to be!
