REFICAR Refinery Expansion, Cartagena, Colombia

摘要

To make the country self-sufficient in refined oil products, Colombia is doubling the capacity of its Cartagena refinery. The refinery located 15 km south of Cartagena, is owned and operated by Refineria de Cartagena (REFICAR), a subsidiary of Ecopetrol. The $7-B project will boost capacity from 80 Mbpd to 165 Mbpd by the end of 2015. Full ramp-up of the facility is expected to be completed by 2Q 2016. The project also includes the modernization of the existing refinery to take advantage of the new complex and improve efficiencies.
