Rosneft to boost gasoline, diesel production from 100-200%

Rosneft, the Russian oil major, said it will boost gasoline production by 200% to 4.5 million tons and diesel fuel production by 100% in 2011. Additional production is possible due to an upgrade at the company’s current refineries and the addition of five new facilities coming online in 2011. This includes a coking unit with a capacity of 1 million tons per year, which will be online at the Komsomolsk Oil Refinery this year. (July 14, 2011)
