Batman Rafinery

253 Thousand m3

Storage Capacity
Batman Refinery sells products that meet EU standards, with products transferred from the Kırıkkale and Izmir refineries. In 2015, the Refinery’s total sales amounted to 745 thousand tons. After the commissioning of Izmit Residuum Upgrading Facility in 2015, and in line with stronger demand for bitumen, Batman Refinery’s capacity utilization and sales increased.

Batman Rafinery

1.1 Million Tons

Processing Capacity

Commissioned in 1955 with a crude oil processing capacity of 330 thousand tons, the Batman Refinery was the first refinery founded in Turkey. Following an initiative to overcome production bottlenecks in 1960 and the commissioning of a new crude oil processing unit in 1972, Batman Refinery’s crude oil processing capacity reached 1.1 million tons/year.

1.83

Nelson Complexity

The refinery has the advantage of being located near domestic sources of crude oil; however, since it does not have upgrading units, its configuration is simple and its Nelson complexity index is 1.83.
