Fergana Oil Refinery to Expand Gasoline Production Capacity
Saneg Prepares to Meet Winter Demand with New Technologies
Saneg, the Fergana Oil Refinery (FOR), is gearing up to meet the increased demand for motor gasoline during the winter months by ramping up production volumes. Starting from December 11, the refinery will increase its daily production of AI-80 and AI-92 gasoline to reach 1,000 tons, doubling the current volume.
The company’s press service emphasized that the expansion is aimed at addressing the growing need for high-quality and frost-resistant fuel during the winter season. The move is expected to ensure a stable supply in the gasoline market and meet the needs of the population.
Khabib Latipov, Saneg’s Deputy Director General for oil refining, credited the increase in output to the implementation of new technological solutions and processes at the plant. He stressed that the enhanced production will also contribute to maintaining an affordable market price for gasoline.
Saneg embarked on the modernization of the FOR in the fall of 2022, with plans to invest over $400 million in establishing the production of high-octane gasoline, aviation fuel, and modern base and motor oils. These efforts are part of the company’s commitment to keep pace with the evolving market demands and to enhance its overall production capacity.
With the introduction of new technologies and the ongoing modernization of its facilities, Saneg is positioning itself to effectively meet the winter surge in demand for gasoline and to ensure a reliable and quality supply for consumers.
