Petrobras has commenced construction on Brazil’s largest oil refinery, located in Bacabeira, 60 km from the site of a new port terminal to be constructed at Sao Luis, Maranhao, which will be linked to the refinery via a new pipeline.
The construction will be carried out in two phases. Phase one construction will be completed in 2013 when the refinery reaches production capacity of 300,000 bbl/d of oil.
The refinery will have a production capacity of 600,000 bbl/d of oil when it reaches full operation in 2015.
