据OGJ网站1月14日休斯顿报道，克罗地亚国家石油公司（INA）日前批准了一项价值6.17多亿美元的计划，对其位于亚得里亚海北部的具有日加工9万桶原油能力的里耶卡炼油厂进行现代化改造，这是该公司提高克罗地亚炼油业务业绩和竞争力的组织战略的一部分。

拟议中的3年现代化改造过程将与在里耶卡炼油厂同时建设一个重质渣油升级厂或延迟焦化装置(DCU)同时进行，现代化改造将包括一个延迟焦化装置、一个焦炭港、存储设施以及相关管道。

在2017年底为建造里耶卡炼油厂延迟焦化装置及相关设施启动正式招标程序的INA表示，该公司预计今年将对DCU项目做出最终投资决定，如果获得批准，这个项目将在2023年投产。

有关新的下游项目的更多细节尚未披露。

INA由匈牙利油气集团（MOL）麾下子公司MOL PLC 公司持有49.1%股份、克罗地亚共和国持有44.8%股份以及私人及机构投资者持有6.1%股份。

Croatia’s INA to modernize Rijeka refinery

fbycfxyvcrCroatia’s INA Industrija Nafte DD has approved a more-than $617-million plan to modernize its 90,000-b/d Rijeka refinery along the northern part of the Adriatic Sea as part of an organizational strategy to boost performance and competitiveness of its Croatian refining business.

The proposed 3-year conversion process would coincide with the concurrent construction of a heavy residue upgrading plant—or delayed coking unit (DCU)—at the Rijeka refinery, which would include a delayed coker, a coke port, storage installations, as well related pipelines and off sites.

INA—which initiated the official tendering process for construction of Rijeka’s delayed coker and associated installations in late 2017—said it expects to take final investment decision this year on the DCU project, which, if approved, would be commissioned in 2023.

INA is jointly owned by Hungary’s MOL Group subsidiary MOL PLC 49.1%, the Republic of Croatia 44.8%, and private and institutional investors 6.1%.
