He noted that with the launch of these projects, the oil refining capacity of the refinery will increase from 30,000 barrels per day to 60,000 barrels per day.
Dadavar also said that producing oil derivatives based on the Euro-4 standards, improving the company's performance, optimizing energy consumption, preparing conditions for generating jobs, improving the know-how of personnel and paving the way for training expert manpower are among initiatives lined up by the company.
