Jizzakh Oil Refinery
Cost: $2.2 billion
Location: Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan is about to become a major hive of Oil & Gas industry activity. Why? Because the country has just committed to spending $30.4 billion on hydrocarbon projects over the next 10 years and beyond. Perhaps the most high-profile of these projects is the Jizzakh Oil Refinery which broke ground in January 2017.
On completion, the refinery will produce more than 3.7 million tonnes of gasoline, more than 700,000 tonnes of jet fuel and about 300,000 tonnes of other oil products annually for both domestic consumption and international export.
An exact date for start-up of the refinery has not been disclosed, but Enter Engineering, Amec Foster Wheeler and Hyundai Engineering are all currently involved in the construction of the facility.
