Egyptian Refiners Seek to Boost Gasoil Production

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Egypt's Refining Industry plans to boost gasoil production with two major projects targeting startups in the next two years.

Middle East Oil Refinery (Midor), an Egyptian shareholding company with a majority stake of state-owned Egyptian Oil Company (EGPC), expects the 60,000-barrel-per-day (BBL/d) expansion of its existing 100,000-BBL/d refinery to approach startup by next year.

Assiut National Oil Processing Company (ANOPC) (Cairo, Egypt) is advancing a hydrocracking complex at its 90,000-BBL/d Assiut refinery, expecting startup by 2024.

The projects are scheduled to add a total of 71,000-BBL/d of diesel hydrotreaters and 68,500-BBL/d of hydrocrackers, which will primarily boost gasoil production. In addition, other major units are also scheduled to be added in comparatively minor proportions.
