The activity of the refinery will be halted during this time interval.
“A general revision is a major event in the activity of the refiner and necessitates a complex planning and risk management process. The revision will take more than 2 million hours of operations. Preparing this revision has taken two years and it is compulsory to secure the good functioning of the refinery in safety conditions,” says Radu Caprau, OMV Petrom executive board member.
A number of 25 main contractor firms will be involved in the revision, with over 80% of them being Romanian ones.
The last general revision was carried out in 2018 and the next one is considered for 2028.
OMV Petrom during 2004-2022 period invested around EUR2 billion in Petrobrazi refinery.
With an annual refining capacity of 4.5 million tons of crude oil, Petrobrazi is one of Romania’s most important refineries.
