Heydar Aliyev Baku Oil Refinery plays a big role as the only oil refining complex in the South Caucasus region.
The refinery supplies fuel to the region and provides SOCAR's petrochemical enterprises with raw materials. Reconstruction of the refinery will greatly improve the quality of diesel fuel and gasoline, bring them in line with the Euro-5 standard, as well as create a stable and efficient raw material base for the Azerbaijani petrochemical industry. The renovation work is important from economic and environmental points of view.
