Bandar Abbas Oil Refinery, also known as Refinery No. 8, is situated near the city of Bandar Abbas in southern Iran.
History[edit]
The refinery was conceptualized in the 1960s because Bandar Abbas's location, which is strategically situated near the Persian Gulf, was chosen for its deep-water access and proximity to crude oil reserves.[1]
A partnership between Snamprogetti and Chiyoda Corporation led to the construction of the refinery, with the Italian company responsible for engineering, procurement, and project supervision.[2] Spanning an area of 7 square kilometers, it processes heavy crude oil along with condensate transported from the Sarkhoon gas processing complex.
As of 2020, it is the third-largest refinery in Iran after Abadan and Isfahan refineries.[3] Currently, it boasts a capacity exceeding 320,000 barrels per day (BPD).[2]
Accidents[edit]
- In September 2023, during emergency repairs, five maintenance workers were involved in an accident, and one worker died.[4]
