Bandar Abbas Oil Refinery, also known as Refinery No. 8, is situated near the city of Bandar Abbas in southern Iran.
The refinery was conceptualized in the 1960s because Bandar Abbas's location, which is strategically situated near the Persian Gulf, was chosen for its deep-water access and proximity to crude oil reserves. [1]
A partnership between Snamprogetti and Chiyoda Corporation led to the construction of the refinery, with the Italian company responsible for engineering, procurement, and project supervision. [2] It covers an area of 7 square kilometers, and processes heavy crude oil along with condensate transported from the Sarkhoon gas processing complex.
As of 2020, it is the third-largest refinery in Iran after Abadan and Isfahan refineries. [3] Currently, its stated capacity exceeds 320,000 barrels per day (BPD). [2]
