(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 21. The Slovnaft
refinery owned by Hungarian MOL Group in Bratislava, Slovakia, will
start processing Azerbaijani oil in April, trend reports via
Hungarian media.
The 90,000 tons of seaborne crude from Azerbaijan's
Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli block was transported from the Sangachal oil
terminal near Baku to Ceyhan via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil
pipeline. The shipment has arrived in Croatia and is being
delivered to the Slovnaft refinery via the Adria pipeline.
MOL Group's priority is to increase the flexibility of oil
procurement. In doing so, MOL has created a fully integrated value
chain, which means it will be able to sell petroleum products
processed in its own refinery from oil extracted from a field in
which it is a shareholder.
MOL Group holds 9.57 percent share in Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli
block.
Total ACG production for the full year of 2022 was on average
about 415,400 barrels per day (b/d) (about 152 million barrels or
20 million tonnes in total) from the Chirag (25,200 b/d), Central
Azeri (104,100 b/d), West Azeri (106,400 b/d), East Azeri (64,000
b/d), Deepwater Gunashli (76,300 b/d) and West Chirag (39,400 b/d)
platforms.
The total volume of oil production in Azerbaijan in 2022
amounted to 32.6 million tons. During the reporting period, the
country exported 26.3 million tons of oil.
