Dismantling Azerneftyag to Begin in 2017
In connection with the future expansion of production at the refinery named after Heydar Aliyev (specializes in the production of fuel) it is planned to dismantle the older refinery of SOCAR - Azerneftyag (producing oil and lubricants ). This was announced today in an interview with the President of SOCAR Rovnag Abdullayev.
According to him, this process will begin approximately in 2017, as the new 7-8 facilities in the Heydar Aliyev Refinery will be gradually put into operation in 2018.
Note that the refinery Azerneftyag exists since the 80s of the XIX century. Since then the plant has been repeatedly upgraded. In recent years it processed more than 1 million tons of oil per year. For comparison - the current processing capacity of the Heydar Aliyev Refinery is 5 times more. --12C-
