S-Oil invests KRW 9 trillion-plus in Ulsan petrochemical Shaheen Project, targets 2027 start-up
  • S-Oil is building the KRW 9 trillion-plus Shaheen Project petrochemical complex in Ulsan, targeting commercial operations in 2027.
  • Project will convert crude oil into basic chemicals, including ethylene, using TC2C technology to upgrade low-value byproducts into feedstock.
  • Facilities are designed to cut carbon emissions by more than 20% through waste-heat recovery.
  • Flexible feedstock capability aims to reduce exposure to naphtha supply volatility tied to Middle East geopolitical risk.
  • Output will be supplied by pipeline to nearby Ulsan petrochemical plants, supporting import substitution for downstream producers.
