Total refining volumes at Gazprom Neft's Omsk refinery have increased by 1.8% year-on-year in the 2015 first half to 10.62 million tons, the company announced on Friday.
Refining depth has increased to 93.19% (93.02% in 2014): on which basis (i.e., in terms of resource efficiency and technological effectiveness), the Omsk refinery is one of best-performing in the Russian refining sector, the company said.
Gasoline production increased by 5.2% during this period. Following reconstruction of the KT-1/1 mazut deep conversion complex, to be completed in late 2015, the factory will switch entirely to production of Euro-5 gasolines.
All of the diesel fuels produced at the Omsk refinery are already consistent with Euro-5 environmental standards, the company said. Euro-5 fuels are distinguished by their high purity and minimal pollutants.
The use of Euro-5 fuels allows a multiple reduction in emissions of sulfur compounds by vehicular traffic, in comparison with Euro-4 fuels.
