Abstract

More than 50 installations for secondary oil refining of the total cost of more than 1.5 trillion rubles (about $20 bln) are planned to be put into operation in Russia by the year 2035. Construction of these installations will require more than 120 reactors, 90 furnaces, and 150 distillation columns. Up to 70% of the equipment for these installations can be produced at Russian plants, including the use of designing and production facilities of the defense industry, in particular, of Rostekh and Roskosmos state corporations, AO Antei, etc. The share of imported technologies, including those for the production of additives and catalysts, in the Russian oil refining industry was determined by market analysis. Priority is given to technologies for making high-margin and environmentally friendly products. The appropriateness of introducing, by analogy with military inspection, the mechanism of state inspection of the newly constructed oil refining facilities to ensure the observance of the terms of reference with complete or partial R&D funding by the government is substantiated.
