At Mongstad Refinery, we operate one of Europe’s most advanced and efficient refining facilities, transforming crude oil into high-quality fuels and petrochemical feedstocks that power industries, transportation, and everyday life. Our refining processes combine cutting-edge technology, stringent environmental standards, and operational excellence to deliver reliable, sustainable, and high-performance products to global markets.
Below is an in-depth overview of our key production and refining processes:
Crude Oil Reception & Pre-Treatment
The refining process begins with the reception and pre-treatment of crude oil. Incoming crude is unloaded from tankers via our deep-water port and stored in large tanks. Before processing, the crude undergoes thorough laboratory analysis to determine its composition and quality. Pre-treatment involves:
Atmospheric & Vacuum Distillation
The heart of the refining process, where crude oil is separated into different hydrocarbon fractions based on boiling points:
Atmospheric Distillation
Vacuum Distillation
Hydroprocessing (Hydrocracking & Hydrotreating)
To meet strict environmental regulations and enhance product quality, we employ advanced hydroprocessing technologies:
Hydrotreating
Hydrocracking
Catalytic Reforming & Isomerization
These processes enhance gasoline quality and octane levels:
Catalytic Reforming
Isomerization
Gasoline, Diesel & Jet Fuel Production
Final blending and treatment ensure our fuels meet the highest industry standards:
LPG & Petrochemical Feedstock Output
Beyond transportation fuels, Mongstad Refinery produces essential feedstocks for the petrochemical industry:
heating, cooking, and as a chemical feedstock.
Commitment to Efficiency & Sustainability
Mongstad Refinery continuously invests in:
By leveraging innovation and operational excellence, Mongstad Refinery remains a cornerstone of Europe’s energy infrastructure, delivering high-quality, sustainable products to meet the demands of today and tomorrow.
