General |
NIS is the largest oil company in Southeast Europe. Fifty one percent of NIS
shares is held by the Russian Gazprom Neft. Corporate headquarters are
located in Novi Sad and Belgrade and production facilities are located
across the whole territory of Serbia. NIS is the only Serbian company
which possesses an integrated and well balanced system of production,
refining and trade of crude oil and petroleum products, as well as natural
gas exploitation and which plays a significant role in stability and
security of energy supply. The company deals with crude refining,
sales of petroleum products, and exploitation of hydrocarbons in Serbia and
Angola. Annual NIS crude oil production totals ca. 1 million tons. NIS
owns two oil refineries, Pancevo Oil Refinery and Novi Sad Oil Refinery,
with total refining capacity of ca. 7.3 million tons per year. There is an
LPG production facility, so called Elemir LPG refinery. Oilfield
services business deals with geophysical exploration, drilling and well
testing , hydro probing, transportation, workover and civil construction
services. In addition to its retail network (480 petrol
stations), NIS also owns oil depots all over Serbia. The company is a
leading supplier of petroleum products in the Serbian market. NIS exports
motor fuels, benzene, toluene), road and industrial bitumens to the EU
countries, Ukraine, Croatia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The company employs 11,000 people. Its 2008 revenues were
approximately USD 4.7 billion.
Construction of a Mild Hydrocracking Complex and Hydrofinishing in Pancevo
Oil Refinery is the main element of the modernization program foreseen by
the Sales and Procurement Agreement. Modernization of the NIS refining
complex represents a crucial condition, necessary for leading the company
towards a strategic position of a regional leader at the market of petroleum
products.
The goals of the project are to secure the competitiveness of NIS when
Serbian petroleum product market becomes deregulated as it is planned for
the end of 2010, maximal adherence to local and European environmental
protection standards, as well as fulfilling the obligations defined by the
sales and procurement agreement for 51% of NIS shares.
Construction of a Mild Hydrocracking Complex and Hydrofinishing will enable
for the quality of the fuel produced to reach the level of European
standards, as well as to increase the production yield.
This complex will consist of five new production units. In addition, as a
part of construction process of this complex, additional 19 facilities of
industrial infrastructure, required for the operation of the MHC and
Hydrofinishing Unit will be reconstructed, modernized and constructed.
Mild Hydrocracking Complex and Hydrofinishing Unit represents an
intermediary phase between the processes of primary and secondary crude
refining. The main purpose of this unit operation is to increase the depth
of crude refining, to eliminate from crude the maximum amount of sulfur,
mercaptane and other chemical compounds which have an adverse effect upon
the quality of finished products and upon the crude refining process.
Start of operation of the MHC and Hydrofinishing Unit will enable the
Pancevo Oil Refinery to start producing unleaded motor gasolines: once the
unit starts operating at full capacity, the scope of production of this type
of fuel will amount to 638.000 t/y. Besides, the yield of domestic Euro
diesel produced in Pancevo Oil Refinery will be significantly increased–
from the existing 230.000 tons to 1.538.000 tons per year. In addition,
positive effects will be also produced by the new method of energy supply
which will enable the lowering of the cost price of petroleum products due
to lowering of electricity consumption. Total value of the project of MHC complex construction equals over 396 million EUR. Besides the construction of the mild hydrocracking complex, as a part of meeting the investment obligations, Gazprom Neft will allocate resources for the construction of the hydrogen generation unit at the site of the Pancevo Oil Refinery.
Start up of this complex is planned for the third quarter of the year 2012.
Once the hydrocracking and hydrofinishing unit is put into operation in the
Pancevo Oil Refinery, NIS expects an increase in profit for more than 271
million EUR per year.
Crucial reason for the start of the implementation of the MHC and HF project
construction are positive ecological effects.
As a part of the project scope additional cleaning facilities will be
constructed and owing to this construction NIS expect a crucial change of
situation related to the air pollution in the town of Pancevo, at whose
territory NIS Refinery is located. Thus the MHC construction project
includes the construction of the sulfur regeneration unit, sulfur
granulation unit, amine regeneration unit, sour water stripper, flare for
burning of hydrocarbon gases and flare for burning of acid gases. In
addition, this project plans the construction of a system for industrial
waste disposal, whose operation will prevent the pollution of air, ground
and surface water and soil. |

News | April 26, 2012 - A sulfuric acid regeneration unit (SARU) was put into operation in the town of Pancevo near Belgrade Wednesday, part of the hydrocracker construction project at the Pancevo Oil Refinery (RNP). The unit was opened by Naftna Industrija Srbije (NIS) Director Kirill Kravchenko and Democratic Party (DS) presidential candidate Boris Tadic. At the opening ceremony, Minister of Environment, Mining and Spatial Planning Oliver Dulic said that benzene content in Pancevo hit its historic low, a proof that NIS was meeting all environmental requirememts. “Over the last decade, Pancevo has been a synonym for pollution, referred to as a black spot on Serbia's environmental map. But thanks to a responsible policy pursued by NIS and EUR 100 million worth of investment in environmental protection over the last three years, we can now say that there is no valid reason to refer to Pancevo as a black spot any more,” Dulic said. Kravchenko said that the new refinery, to be producing oil derivatives under the highest European standards, would be in full swing in late fall. Tadic said that part of the political public had been opposed to the privatization of NIS but it was now clear that the project was visionary. Over the last four years, Serbia has been active in the field of green economy more than ever before, thanks in great part to NIS and the Russian partner Gasprom Neft |
