據國外媒體2月5日馬斯喀特報道，阿曼媒體報道說，阿曼蘇哈爾煉油廠改造項目（SRIP）的工程量迄今已完成99%以上，而這個項目有望在今后的幾個月里投產。

　　隨著原油蒸餾裝置、減壓裝置以及Kero-Merox裝置的竣工，SRIP將把蘇哈爾煉油廠的石油產品產量提高大約70%。

　　這個升級后的煉油廠標志著這個長達3年總投資高達大約21億美元的擴建和現代化計劃的結束。

　　當這個改造后煉油廠全面運作時將不僅能滿足國內對汽車燃料和精制石油產量飛速增加的需求，而且還能適當配置加工比重更重的阿曼原油。

　　More than 99 per cent of the work on the Sohar Refinery Improvement Project (SRIP) has been completed and the project is just months away from being brought on stream, said a report.

　　With the completion of the crude distillation, vacuum distillation and Kero-Merox units, SRIP will boost its refining output boosted by around 70 per cent, reported Oman Observer.

　　The upgraded refinery marks the end of a three-year-long expansion and modernisation programme involving a total investment of around $2.1 billion.

　　When fully operational, the revamped refinery will not only be equipped to meet the nation’s galloping demand for motor fuels and refined petroleum products, but crucially, it will also be suitably configured to process heavier Omani crudes.
