The Haydar Aliyev Oil Refinery Plant of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR), the former Azerneftyanajag, resumed gasoline export at the expense of extra reserves existing at the Company, SOCAR told Trend.
2,000 tons of gasoline has been shipped and we are going to satisfy requirements for the product in Georgia, SOCAR underlined.
SOCAR plans to resume operation of the catalytic cracking device at the Heydar Aliyev Plant that would allow increase of product export.
