By Maksim Tsurkov - Trend:
The detailed design of a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) filling station has been completed within the project to modernize the Heydar Aliyev Baku Oil Refinery, a source in the oil and gas market of the country told Trend May 21.
"Contractors - SOCAR-Foster Wheeler Engineering and Tekfen - have completed the detailed design of a new LPG filling station. At present, the results of this work should pass a number of approvals in the relevant state structures of Azerbaijan," the source told Trend.
