Modernization and Reconstruction of the Heydar Aliyev Oil Refinery

The Client: Técnicas Reunidas

Técnicas Reunidas is one of the leading international engineering and construction companies for oil and gas production, refining and petrochemicals, and power generation projects for a broad spectrum of customers around the world. Since 1959, TR has designed and built more than 1,000 industrial plants in more than 50 countries worldwide.

The State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) selected Técnicas Reunidas to carry out the modernization and reconstruction of the Heydar Aliyev Refinery in Baku. The contract awarded to Técnicas Reunidas involves revamping major process units within the diesel block (crude and vacuum, FCC, kero treatment and amines) and gasoline block (CCR, naphtha hydrotreater and VGO hydrotreater), modifying and expanding the associated utilities and offsites, and coordinating the work with the existing refinery and contractors for other packages in the overall project

Business Challenge

Técnicas Reunidas had to overcome the challenges associated with low level design and coverage studies on site in order to establish centralized telecommunications/IT equipment. Accurate indicators were required to provide the exact parameters for order. There was a need to redefine the customer support requirements and devise a working solution and systems that would enable the provision of high-quality services to the Heydar Aliyev Oil Refinery.
