"Mini Refineries in Russia - a New Wave" - International forum 17 - 18 September 2007, Moscow, Russia

In 2006 Russia was ranked first in terms of global crude production. At the same time, a certain lag in refining was observed. This becomes particularly significant with the growth in consumption both domestically and globally. Does the Government of the Russian Federation really intend to develop a set of measures encouraging domestic oil refining?

•             The role of local authorities in addressing the problems of petroleum product supplies
•             Modern requirements as to the quality of refined products
•             Modern requirements as to the certification procedures
•             Feedstock and sales of refined products, logistics, access to oil pipelines
•             Pricing for domestic and international markets
•             Production profitability and construction funding
•             Mini-refineries design and service, technologies and know-how

This forum is an excellent opportunity to meet, exchange the experience and opinions on all the above topics with representatives of:

•             Regional administrations of the Russian Federation
•             Small and medium independent oil producers
•             Top-managers of operating or designed mini-refineries
•             Independent traders and consumers
•             Designers and equipment manufacturers
•             Potential investors and banks
