Upon completion of the works, the refinery will continue to process at its optimal production capacity of approximately 15,000 tons of raw material processed daily.
During the planned works the company will continue to supply the Romanian market with the necessary fuel, Rompetrol Rafinare said.
The Petromidia refinery is one of the most modern in the Black Sea region and accounts for about 40% of Romania’s refining capacity. The facility in Navodari has a stable flow of raw material, thanks to deliveries of Kazakh crude oil made with the support of KazMunayGas, Kazakhstan’s national oil and gas company.
The significant shareholders of Rompetrol Rafinare SA are KMG International (54.63% – directly and indirectly) and the Romanian government through the Energy Ministry(44.7%).
