Iran Eyes Refinery Output Boost in New Project

TEHRAN, Oct 22 (Shana) – A member of the energy committee of the Iranian parliament says inauguration of Persian Gulf Star Refinery will add 35 million liters of gasoline with high octane content to the country's daily output, which will turn Iran into a major producer of refined products.

Speaking to Shana, Ahmad Moradi said the refinery will also supply 14 million liters of gasoil once it is fully operational. 

The refinery is owned by Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Investment Company (49%), Oil Industry Pension Fund (33.1%) and National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company (NIORDC) (17.9%).

One fully operational, the refinery would produce 36 ml/d of high-octane gasoline and 14 ml/d of gasoil. Other products include 4 ml/d of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), 3 ml/d of jet fuel and 130 tons a day of sulfur. 

After the project's first phase becomes fully operational, other phases will come online each after 6 months.
