The complex, which is 50% owned by Sabic, has a total production capacity of 3 million t/y, it said in an e-mailed statement. State-controlled Sabic, one of the world's biggest chemical firms, said estimated its investment in the complex at about $2.7 billion.

The start of commercial operations at the complex means that the joint venture partners will start to book its revenues and operating costs.
