The Assiut oil refinery in Egypt is undergoing a significant expansion and modernization effort to meet the rising demand for petroleum products in Upper Egypt.
As part of the refinery upgrade, new facilities including a naphtha complex and a hydrocracking complex will be added.
This expansion and modernization initiative will further boost the refining capacity of the existing refinery. Presently, the refinery processes 4.5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of distillation crude.
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.
Mellitah Plant – Upgrade of Let Down Station for Local Market Gas Supply
The project aims to replace the temporary Let Down Station, installed in 2015, with permanent pressure reduction facilities at the expansion area of GS. This upgrade is intended to transport gas to the local market and supply the existing Sirte Oil Company (SOC) coastal gas pipeline with an increased capacity of 19.5 MSm3/d of sales gas at a higher pressure of 51 Bar.
