Rompetrol’s growth forecasts are mainly based on the finalization of the investment program targeting the Petromidia platform, which consisted in boosting crude oil processing capacity from 3.5 million tons to 5 million tons. Overall, investments rose to $380 million.
According to Rompetrol officials, the increase in the refining capacity of Petromidia is expected to boost sales, mainly for diesel oil, by 15% to 20% in 2013, both on the Romanian market and in terms of exports.
Rompetrol has more than 400 gas stations, some of which are unmanned facilities.
