reach 555,000 barrels per day.
On Monday [26 November], the director of the renovation project said that one
of the main goals of the plan, besides raising the refinery's capacity, is to
improve the quality of products and increase their value.
He stated that the refinery will not have a stable future without these
improvements, and added that the reconstruction and renovation plans would be
completed in two phases.

first phase, which included planning, buying equipment, construction, and
installation.
He added, "The analysis of the first phase is being conducted by the Abadan
Oil Refinery, and the next began after contracts were signed with petrochemical
engineering companies last month.
