Reliance will buy about 500,000 barrels of crude oil a day from Saudi Aramco to be refined at RIL’s giant refinery

By Krishnan Nayar, WAM (Emirates News Agency)

NEW DELHI – In a major effort to deepen India’s energy relationship with oil producers in the Gulf, the country’s biggest conglomerate, Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), is to sell 20 percent of the ownership of its refining and petrochemical business to Saudi Aramco for $15 billion.

This was announced by RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting in Mumbai. Under the deal, Reliance will buy about 500,000 barrels of crude oil a day from Saudi Aramco to be refined at RIL’s giant refinery in Jamnagar in India’s west coast.

“This signifies perfect synergy between the world’s largest oil producer and the world’s largest integrated refinery and petrochemicals complex,” Mukesh Ambani told the shareholders’ meeting.

When the deal is completed in about six months subject to regulatory approvals by the Indian government, it will be one of the biggest foreign investments in India.

The new arrangement will compensate for the stoppages of RIL’s purchases of Iranian and Venezuelan crude following US sanctions on both countries.
