ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan, January 17.

complex, including its Kenar oil storage and loading enterprise,
Trend reports via the press service of the Turkmen
Government.
The decision was made by President Serdar Berdimuhammedov during
the Cabinet meeting held on January 16. The complex operates under
the auspices of the State Concern Turkmennebit.
The Turkmenbashi Oil Processing Complex (TOPC), Turkmenistan's
largest oil refinery, plays a crucial role in processing crude oil
and gas condensate into high-quality petroleum and petrochemical
products. It is a cornerstone of the nation's economy, making
substantial contributions to both industrial output and export
revenue. TOPC produces a wide array of products, including
gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and polypropylene, which are
subsequently exported to international markets across Asia, Europe,
and the Middle East.
Turkmenistan's Kenar Oil Storage and Loading Enterprise, part of
the Turkmenbashi Complex of Oil Refineries, is a crucial facility
for storing, pumping, and shipping various petroleum products
(gasoline, diesel, fuel oil, etc.) for domestic use and export,
utilizing advanced automation (SCADA) and pipeline networks, with
significant recent expansion including a third oil loading berth to
boost export capacity for the national economy.
