Call to finish Turkmenistan’s refining sector modernisation programme
Turkmen President Gurbankuly Berdymukhammedov has said he wants the modernisation of the country’s oil refineries to be completed, reports Global Energy Research. Both the Turkmenbashi refinery on the Caspian coast and the Seydi oil refinery near the country’s border with Uzbekistan, which have been undergoing modernisation for years, have reportedly raised output, but overall capacity remains virtually unchanged since the fall of the USSR, at 237,000 b/d in 2014.
Berdymukhammedov stressed the importance of the programme to the Turkmen economy and efforts to industrialise the country further.
