Project Profile
Value: US$2.8 billion
Location: Omsk, Russia
Capacity: 21.4 million-tpy (tons per year)
Start-up Year: 5th of September 1955
Omsk refinery is located in Omsk, Russia. It is operated by Gazprom Neft, a subsidiary of Gazprom. Omsk refinery is one of the most advanced refineries in Russia and one of the largest refineries in the world. The refinery has an installed capacity of 19.5 mnt of crude oil per year. In 2010, the Omsk refinery maintained a leading position in Russia in terms of volume of light petroleum products and aromatic hydrocarbons manufactured. In 2010, in terms of oil refining - 18.98 mnt (7.6 % of volume of all Russian refineries) - Omsk refinery ranked second among Russian refineries. The first position was taken by PO Kirishneftorgsintez LLC with 21.2 mn t, belonging to OJSC Surgutneftegas. In 2010, the load of the Omsk refinery for primary crude oil processing was 97.4 % of the installed capacity.
The extent of oil refining was 83.3 % compared to the industry average rate of 71.8 % in Russia. The key types of products include automobile petrol, diesel fuel, fuel oil (black oil) and jet propulsion fuel, alongside a range of aromatics, liquefied petroleum gases, various types of lubricants, additives, catalysts and other production. The yield of light oils is 67 %. The refinery includes a deep conversion complex, an aromatics complex, alkylation facilities, offsites, storage tanks and other facilities. The deep conversion complex includes a vacuum distillation unit, vacuum gas oil hydroteater, fluidised catalytic converter, visbreaking unit, methyl tertiary butyl ether unit and sulphur and hydrogen production units. It became operational in 1994 enabling the refinery to process heavy oil and increase oil conversion rates to 85%.
Extension / development proposals:
In 2010, a new naphtha isomerisation plant called lzomalk-2 was commissioned at the plant. The 800,000tpa unit produces isomerizate with zero sulphur, aromatic and unsaturated hydrocarbons content. It enabled the refinery to commence production of high-octane gasoline of the Euro 4 standard in March 2011 and of Euro 5 standard in July 2011. In 2011, a mid-term investment programme for the refinery was announced. The programme is aimed at producing Euro 4 gasoline and diesel by 2012 and Euro 5 products from 2015. The main component of the US$500 million investment programme is the construction of a diesel hydrotreater and catalytically cracked gasoline hydrotreatment complex. The diesel fuel hydrotreater will have a capacity of 3mtpa and the catalytically cracked gasoline hydrotreater will have a capacity of 1.2mtpa. Construction of the new units commenced in 2010 and is expected to be completed by 2013. With the completion of the new units all products of the refinery will comply with Euro 4 and 5 standards.The programme also includes restructuring of the deep conversion and alkylation facilities which will improve the quality of the products and increase efficiency. The air / nitrogen plant will also be upgraded and a heavy petroleum products tank farm, LPG tank farm, H2S and alkali tank farm will be added. Construction of feed storage facilities for bitumen and coke production and modification of waste water treatment facilities is also part of the programme. This will improve the health, safety and environmental standards of the refinery.
