From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page summarizes projects that brought more than 20,000 barrels/day of new liquid fuel capacity to market with the first production of fuel beginning in 2006. This is part of the Wikipedia summary of Oil Megaprojects -- see that page for further details -- and is maintained by the Oil Megaprojects task force. 2006 saw 30 projects come on stream with an aggregate capacity of 4.092 million barrels/day when full production was reached (which may not have been in 2006).
