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.
Baltic Pipe Project – Compressor Station in Everdrup
The project aimed at the installation of piping and equipment of the Everdup Process Plant gas compression station, part of the Baltic Pipe project in Denmark.
The Baltic Pipe is a strategic infrastructure project that aims to create a new gas supply corridor in the European market. Operational since October 2022, the Baltic Pipe is 900km long for a total cost of 1.88 billion dollars: it connects the Norwegian gas transport system with Denmark and Poland via an underwater gas pipeline in the North Sea.
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.
