India's BPCL to increase naphtha exports in Q1 2017

摘要

India's state-run Bharat Petroleum Corp. Ltd. is set to boost its naphtha exports next year with the completion of expansion works at its Kochi refinery to 15 million mt/year from 9.5 million mt/year, scheduled around the first quarter, industry sources said this week. The expansion is expected to increase BPCL's naphtha production by 10%-15%-at least 550,000 mt/year, or around 13,500 b/d- which would enable the refiner to restore monthly exports from Kochi on the Indian southwest coast, to two cargoes, one source familiar with the matter said.
