Maintenance and repair (M&R) works for Tüpraş's Kirikkale Refinery, home to Türkiye's largest road tanker filling capacity.
Two new challenging contracts underscore Prokon as a reliable solution partner.
Prokon Makina, Insaat, Imalat, Montaj, Sanayi ve Ticaret Ltd. Şti. (Prokon Türkiye), Prokon's subsidiary, is pleased to announce that it has signed two new contracts with Türkiye Petrol Rafinerileri A.Ş. (Tüpraş) to provide maintenance, repair, and replacement works at the Kirikkale Refinery.
Within the framework of the contracts, Prokon Türkiye will carry out the maintenance and repair of static equipment, as well as the replacement of a column and the blowdown chimney during the planned shutdown period, which started in early February and is scheduled to be completed before the end of March 2023.
Vugar Samadli, Chief Executive Officer of Nobel Energy, said: "Prokon has successfully delivered previous critical M&R works for Tüpraş's Izmit Refinery. Being entrusted with crucial work packages at another refinery of the Turkish downstream giant—Kirikkale—further underscores Prokon's position as a reliable solution partner.
This project is a significant achievement for Prokon Türkiye's portfolio, as the Kirikkale Refinery has an annual crude oil processing capacity of 5.4 million tons and holds the distinction of having Türkiye's largest road tanker filling capacity, making it strategically important for regional energy security. I am confident that Prokon will continue its partnership with Tüpraş in both its current and future undertakings."
