Gujarat Refinery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gujarat Refinery was built with Soviet assistance at a cost of Rs.26.00 crores and went on stream in October 1965. The refinery had an initial installed capacity of 2 MMTPA (Million Metric Tonnes Per Annum) and was designed to process crude from Ankleshwar, Kalol and Nawagam oilfields of Oil & Natural Gas Commission in Gujarat. In September 1967, the capacity of the refinery was expanded to 3 MMTPA. The capacity of the refinery was further increased to 4.3 MMTPA through debottlenecking measures and to 7.3 MMTPA in October 1978 by implementing an expansion project of Rs.56.07 crores. With the implementation of additional processing facilities the Refinery could achieve capacity of 9.5 MMTPA in 1989. The refining capacity was further expanded to 12.5 MMTPA with commissioning of 3.0 MMTPA CDU in September, 1999. The present refining capacity of this refinery is 13.70 MMTPA.
