沙特集團表示，根據協議，其子公司先進全球投資公司（AGIC）將與韓國公司成立一家新的合資企業先進聚烯烴公司，以確保這兩家工廠在朱拜爾工業城的順利運營。

丙烷脫氫工廠的丙烯年總產能將達到84.3萬噸，而丙烷脫氫工廠的聚丙烯年產量將達到80萬噸左右。

根據該協議，AGIC將擁有合資公司85%的股權，該股權將由先進石化出資，其余15%將由SKGP持有。

AGIC已經與美國魯瑪斯技術公司簽署了一項許可協議，為843 KTA丙烷脫氫工廠提供Catofin技術，另外兩個許可協議與意大利巴塞爾Poliolefine簽訂，分別為兩個400 KTA產能的聚丙烯工廠提供Spheripol和Spherizone技術。
