Rosneft plans to increase refinery by its own plants to 91 mil tons a year

Rosneft plans to increase refinery by its own plants to 91 mil tons a year, in relation to 11 mil tons in 2006, said Sergey Kudriashov, company's first vice-president, during a briefing.
After the company purchased YUKOS' refinery plants it upped refinery rate to 40% from 15%. Though S. Kuydriashov said that the ratio of oil production to refinery is back with the needed 2 to1, that has a negative influence to the company's financial position.
By 2015 company's oil production volume, without new assets (Samaraneftegaz, Tomskneft, etc.), will make 140 mil tons. That is why Rosneft is going modernize the existing Refineries and construct the new ones.
Particularly the company is working out the question of Refinery plants construction in China. S. Kudriashov said that its capacity may make 20 mol tons. At present the negotiations are held.
Also S. Kudriashov added that Rosneft plans constructing a Plant on the Far East with 20 mil tons year capacity.
According to company's presentation, refinery volume of Samara Refineries will remain 20 mil tons till 2015.Refinery volume of Siberian refineries will remain 12 mil ton level. Tuapse and Komsomolsk Refineries will increase productive capacity to 19 mil tons from 11 mil tons.
The Bank of Moscow atlantics consider Rosneft to extend refinery volume to 80 mil tons by 2012.
