Lukoil upgrades mini-refinery in Kogalym
Lukoil-West Siberia, a wholly-owned Lukoil subsidiary, has started upgrading its mini-refinery in Kogalym with the construction of an isomerisation unit, reconstruction of a diesel-fuel hydrotreater and construction of a gasoline-compounding unit. Work is scheduled to be completed in December 2014, at which point the plant will start manufacturing Euro-5-compliant fuels.
The Kogalym mini-refinery was constructed in 1997. Its current oil-processing capacity equates to 300,000 t/y. It produces gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and paving bitumen.
