BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 28. The STAR Oil Refinery, under the wing of the State Oil Company of the Republic of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) and nestled in Türkiye, brought in a whopping 891,976 tons of crude oil in June 2025.
Data obtained by Trend from the Energy Market Regulatory Authority
(EPDK) indicates that this signifies a surge of 29,623 tons,
equating to a 3.4 percent escalation, relative to the 973,110 tons
procured in June 2024.
Furthermore, the refinery achieved a throughput of approximately
527,978 metric tons of diesel fuel within the specified timeframe,
in conjunction with the generation of 178,721 metric tons of
aviation fuel, 133,963 metric tons of naphtha, and 58,583 metric
tons of petroleum coke. Furthermore, it generated a total of 28,529
metric tons of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) along with
approximately 26,502 metric tons of high-sulfur diesel fuel.
Initiated in October 2018, STAR Refinery represents Türkiye's most
substantial real-sector capital infusion, synergistically
amalgamating oil refining processes with the petrochemical sector.
As of the conclusion of 2024, the facility's yearly crude oil
throughput capacity has escalated to 13 million tons, with naphtha
output nearly entirely satisfying the feedstock requirements of the
Petkim petrochemical complex.
