Rompetrol Rafinare is expanding storage capacity at its Petromidia refinery as part of a programme aimed at improving the flexibility and reliability of crude oil and fuel logistics. The company’s works include changes to tank capacity and refurbishment across its Romanian refining assets.
Petromidia and Vega tank upgrades since 2007
Since 2007, the company has rehabilitated or upgraded more than 60 storage tanks across the Petromidia and Vega refineries. The latest expansion programme continues that broader approach to storage infrastructure.
A tank used for distillates in diesel production has already been expanded from 5,000 to 6,000 cubic metres. This capacity increase forms part of the ongoing adjustments to storage used for refinery outputs.
Navodari refinery modernisation and recent tank returns
Separately, five tanks at the Navodari refinery are being modernised or have recently returned to service. The activity is tied to maintenance and operational readiness at the site.
Planned 2026 capacity increases and crude oil refurbishment
Additional works scheduled during 2026 include increasing a gasoline tank from 5,000 to 6,000 cubic metres. The plan also calls for expanding two tanks used for diesel and other refinery components from 10,000 to 12,000 cubic metres each.
The programme also covers refurbishment of a 57,000-cubic-metre crude oil tank. These investments are intended to support operational flexibility and strengthen fuel and crude handling reliability while reducing logistics constraints as the company continues modernising its Romanian refining assets.
