The Rhourde El Baguel LPG Extraction Plant is a facility designed to treat associated gas from oil production and recover LPG, condensate and dry gas. The project is linked to the Rhourde El Baguel production complex, one of Sonatrach’s Oil & Gas assets in Algeria. It has a planned processing capacity of approximately 10 million m³/day of associated gas. Expected output is estimated at around 1,000 t/day of LPG, 300 t/day of condensate and 8.7 million m³/day of dry gas.

The SAIPEM 3000 is a self-propelled mono-hull DP derrick crane vessel operating within the Saipem fleet. Designed to perform major offshore operations, the unit supports heavy-lift activities, offshore structure installation, subsea construction works and ROV-assisted operations. Equipped with a fully redundant DP Class 3 dynamic positioning system and a main crane with a lifting capacity of up to 2,177 t, the vessel is deployed on complex offshore projects worldwide.

The project involves upgrading the Reactor and Regenerator sections of the FCC Unit at Lukoil’s refinery in Bulgaria. This upgrade will boost the unit’s efficiency, enabling it to process more oil and produce higher-quality products. Additionally, it sets the stage for Lukoil’s future investments in the refinery, positioning the company for long-term success in the industry.
