Technip Energies has secured a series of contracts from Petkim, a subsidiary of SOCAR, for the proposed development of a major integrated petrochemical complex in Aliağa, Türkiye.
The award covers the licensing of a world-scale mixed-feed ethylene cracker, along with the integrated Process Design Package (PDP) and Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) services for the wider complex.
At the heart of the planned development is a steam cracker designed to produce approximately 1,200 KTA of ethylene and 550 KTA of propylene. The complex will also include an 850 KTA HDPE/LLDPE facility, comprising two 425 KTA trains, and a 550 KTA polypropylene plant integrated with the new cracker.
The contracts cover the licensing, PDP and FEED stages, marking a significant step in the project's technical development. However, the project remains subject to a Final Investment Decision (FID) by Petkim.
If developed, the integrated complex is expected to produce key petrochemical building blocks used across a wide range of industries, including packaging, consumer goods, automotive components and industrial applications.
Stéphane Mespoulhes, Senior Vice President Ethylene and Polyolefins at Technip Energies, commented: “We are pleased to support Petkim at this important stage in the development of its integrated petrochemical complex. By combining our ethylene technology with our engineering capabilities, we will support Petkim through the PDP and FEED phases as the project progresses through its technical development. This early engagement will help establish the technical foundations for an efficient, flexible and competitive project.”
Technip Energies recorded the award in the third quarter of 2026 across its Project Delivery and Technology, Products & Services segments.
