Crude Oil & Gas Feedstock Procurement
Ensuring the energy supply chain begins with securing stable, consistent, and high-quality crude oil and natural gas streams from key regional partners.
Strategic Crude Procurement
Our crude sourcing strategy is built on **long-term partnerships** with major national oil companies and regional producers, minimizing spot market volatility and guaranteeing supply continuity to the refinery.
We actively manage a portfolio of crude grades to optimize the refinery's operational profile, focusing on grades that maximize the yield of valuable light products upon processing. This integrated approach ensures the efficiency of our 5.5 million TPY throughput capacity.
- **Long-Term Offtake Agreements:** Securing volume stability.
- **Risk Management:** Hedging and insurance strategies against market fluctuations.
- **Quality Optimization:** Sourcing specific grades suitable for Euro-5 conversion.
Midstream Logistics & Transit Management
The movement of crude oil from the wellhead to our facility is a critical component of our supply chain resilience. We leverage **major regional pipeline networks** in coordination with rail and sometimes river transport for maximum flexibility and volume delivery.
Our midstream team utilizes **real-time tracking and scheduling systems** to manage complex transit routes across borders and different transport modes. This dedicated logistical expertise minimizes delivery delays and ensures a just-in-time inventory level at the refinery's tank farm. We focus heavily on pipeline integrity and safety in all transit operations.
- **Multi-Modal Transport:** Utilizing pipeline, rail, and road for strategic flexibility.
- **Transit Safety:** Strict adherence to international and national hazardous goods transport regulations.
- **Inventory Planning:** Coordinating deliveries precisely with refinery scheduling demands.
JSC PHYSTECH II Quality & Assurance
Crude Oil Sampling & Testing
Every batch of incoming crude is sampled and tested immediately upon receipt. We verify key parameters like **API gravity, sulfur content, and viscosity** to ensure optimal performance in our Hydro-treating and Catalytic Cracking units.
Contaminant Management
We use **advanced filtration and desalter technology** at the refinery inlet to remove impurities (salts, sediment, and water) that could corrode equipment or compromise the refining process. Proactive management is key to asset longevity.
Natural Gas Quality Control
Natural gas feedstock used for energy and hydrogen production is analyzed for contaminants like Hâ‚‚S and COâ‚‚. Maintaining high gas quality is vital for **hydrogen purity** required in the Hydro-treating process.
