[edit]

Two sectors were commissioned in January 1975 for processing 2.5 MMTPA of Middle East crude - one for producing fuel products and the other for Lube base stocks.[3] The fuel sector was built with French collaboration and the Lube sector with Romanian collaboration. The refining capacity of the Refinery was increased to 2.75 million tonnes per year in 1989 through debottlenecking measures.[4]
