Iraq's South Refineries Company (SRC) is nearing the completion of its Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) project, with 98% of the work done. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Oil, Hayan Abdul Ghani, emphasized the importance of boosting production to achieve self-sufficiency in petroleum products during his visit to the site.
The project, set to start phased operations in August and full production in September, will have a capacity of 55,000 barrels per day, producing 4,300 cubic meters of Euro 5-compliant gasoline, 300 tons of liquefied gas, 6,000 cubic meters of hydrotreated gas oil, 4,500 tons of improved fuel oil, and 400 tons of solid sulfur per day.
