石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社莫斯科/伦敦11月14日消息，三位知情人士表示，因为试运过程中发现了小的故障，土耳其投资63亿美元的新建炼油厂的商业化投产已经被推迟至明年初，而满负荷生产要等到明年中期。 这座由阿塞拜疆国家石油公司SOCAR建设的20万桶/日加工能力的STAR炼油厂有望成为地中海石油市场的游戏改变者，将令土耳其的炼油能力增加逾三分之一。 一位知情人士表示，土耳其总统埃尔多安于今年10月正式开启该炼油厂，但是预计要到明年1月份才能开始商业化加工原油，因为测试仍在进行中。 这位知情人士表示：“他们计划在明年一季度逐步提高加工量，预计到明年第二季度才能达到满负荷加工能力。因为在测试过程中发现了一些小的故障，因此该炼油厂的正式投产时间已经推迟数次。” STAR炼油厂是过去几十年来欧洲新建的最大炼油厂，也是过去30年来土耳其首个新建炼油厂。贸易商们表示，该炼油厂一旦达到满负荷生产状态，将改变地中海传统的原油流向。 张春晓摘译自 路透社 原文如下： Start-up of Turkey’s new $6B STAR oil refinery delayed to 2019 The commercial start-up of Turkey’s new $6.3 billion oil refinery has been delayed until early next year and the plant is not expected to reach full capacity until mid-2019, three sources familiar with the matter said, as tests revealed minor faults. The 200,000-barrel-per-day STAR refinery, built by Azerbaijan’s state oil firm SOCAR, is set to be a game changer for Mediterranean oil markets and will increase the country’s total refining capacity by just over a third. The plant was officially opened by Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan in October but it is not expected to start processing crude commercially until January, one of the sources close to the refinery said, as tests are still being carried out. “They plan to ramp up slowly through the first quarter and it is expected to reach full processing capacity in the second quarter of 2019,” the source said, adding that the start-up has been delayed a few times as tests had revealed small faults. STAR is the biggest new refinery to start up in Europe for decades, and Turkey’s first in 30 years. It will transform traditional Mediterranean crude flows once it reaches full capacity, traders said.
