Oil Refining

In recent years, the company has modified its oil refining operations to meet market demand for premium petroleum products. Kaz Vortex Gas has been continually improving its refineries for many years, boosting its competitiveness, range, and product quality. Under this most ambitious scheme in Kazakhstan’s oil sector, oil refining facilities will be modernized in order to supply the market with premium gasoline. Since the program’s execution, which began at the end of 2022, all motor fuels in the K5 environmental class for Kazakhstan’s domestic market have been produced in accordance with technical specifications.

As part of the national purpose, Kaz Vortex Gas collaborated with major Kazakhstani academic institutes on research and development. The company is updating its catalytic cracking catalysts (IPPU SB RAS) with help from scientists at the Kazakhstan Academy of Sciences’ Institute for Problems of Hydrocarbon Processing in Astana. The Almaty Institute of Catalysis is in charge of creating catalysts for hydroprocessing. Scientists in Almaty have already created catalysts for hydrotreating middle distillates, allowing them to produce a sulfur-free product that passes all Euro-5 standards.

Throughout the refinery’s industrial testing, these catalysts performed admirably. A vacuum gas oil hydrocracking catalyst is currently being studied in a laboratory environment. In recent years, the Company’s refining operations have been geared on meeting market demand for high-quality petroleum products. Kaz Vortex Gas gradually modernized its refineries, allowing it to diversify its product offerings, improve the quality of its output, and increase its competitiveness. This is the largest oil refinery renovation project in Kazakhstan’s oil industry history. This effort aims to shift Kazakhstan to 100 percent environmentally friendly K5 motor fuel generation.

After the modernization is completed, the company expects a synergistic benefit from changing raw material composition and restructuring component flows across the corporation’s refineries. Adopting Kaz Vortex Gas techniques will provide greater control over the investment program’s execution, as well as schedule optimization for refinery project implementation, efficiency management, and operating expense optimization. To realize this potential, a plan has been developed and approved for implementing the Kaz Vortex Gas integration synergy. If this strategy is effectively implemented, the oil refinery block’s efficiency will be greatly boosted. By the end of 2022, the refinery had processed 5 million tons of crude oil, establishing its supremacy in Kazakhstan’s refining output.
