The company’s general and administrative expenses included SAR 100 million, as Petro Rabigh allocated debt provisions for customs duties owed by competent government authorities during the Rabigh Phase I project.
Fixed assets saw substantial growth of SAR 36.8 billion in the first quarter, compared to SAR 26 billion in Q1-2014, thanks to the recognition of SAR 13 billion in costs of works under construction, as well as the expansion of the Rabigh phase II project.
According to data available on Argaam, the petrochemical producer said in mid-March that it finalized procedures required for transferring the ownership of Rabigh II from its founders to the company.
Construction works at Rabigh Phase II facilities are expected to be completed as of December 2015; except for the Nylon 6 plant, which will be completed in mid-2016.
