The Turkmenbashi Complex of Oil Refineries is Turkmenistan’s largest refining facility and a cornerstone of the national petrochemical industry. In 2025 the complex processed approximately 4.96 million tons of crude oil, an increase of nearly 8% year-on-year, producing around 1.48 million tons of gasoline, 1.54 million tons of diesel fuel, 434,000 tons of kerosene, as well as liquefied gas, polypropylene, lubricating oils and bitumen. The complex has undergone successive modernization stages, including projects implemented with South Korean companies (Hyundai Engineering and LG International) for sulfur-removal units and high-octane gasoline production, and Turkish firms for power-generation upgrades.
Continuous investment in infrastructure, including the Kenar storage and loading terminal, supports both domestic fuel supply and exports through the Caspian port of Turkmenbashi. Source: https://www.trend.az/casia/turkmenistan/4218759.html © 2026 Trend News Agency.
