据烃加工2021年4月23日莫斯科报道，俄罗斯最大的石油化工公司西布尔(Sibur)和俄罗斯石化巨头塔伊夫集团4月23日表示，俄罗斯两家石化巨头将合并各自的石油化工业务，打造全球五大聚烯烃和橡胶制品生产商之一。

以私人拥有的西布尔为首的俄罗斯能源企业，正日益将重点转向石化行业，以利用这个快速增长的行业来抵消原油出口市场波动的影响。

两家公司在一份声明中表示：“此次合并将使新公司的石化业务在全球市场上更具竞争力，能够提高其对市场波动的抵御能力，并释放俄罗斯石化行业的进一步增长潜力。”

塔伊夫集团表示，这项协议将帮助塔伊夫集团加快其2030年战略发展计划中的关键项目，未来10年将有超过1.5万亿卢布(200亿美元)的投资。

东欧最大的石化产品生产商西布尔称现有的塔伊夫集团股东将获得PJSC 西布尔控股公司15%的股份，作为交换，他们将转移塔伊夫集团旗下石化和能源公司集团的控股权。

塔伊夫集团的剩余股份随后可能由合并后的新公司收购。

Russia's Sibur, TAIF merge petrochemical businesses

Russia's Sibur and TAIF will combine their petrochemical businesses to create one of world's top five producers of polyolefin and rubber products, they said on Friday.

Russian energy companies, led by privately owned Sibur, have increasingly been shifting their focus to petrochemicals in a drive to capitalise on the fast-growing sector and offset the volatile market for crude oil exports.

"This combination will make the new company's petrochemical operations more competitive in the global market, improve its resilience to market fluctuations, and also unlock further growth potential of Russia's petrochemical industry," the companies said in a statement.

TAIF said the deal would help TAIF Group accelerate key projects in its 2030 strategic development programme that will see more than 1.5 trillion roubles ($20 billion) of investments over the next 10 years.

Sibur, the largest petrochemicals producer in eastern Europe, said existing TAIF shareholders would receive a 15% stake in PJSC Sibur Holding in exchange for transferring a controlling interest in TAIF's group of petrochemical and energy firms.

The remaining stake in TAIF can be subsequently purchased by the combined company.
