Petrochemical industry in Romania

Industry of Romania

Mining Energy Construction Manufacture Chemicals Metallurgy Car production Petrochemical Arms

Romania was one of the largest producers of oil in World War II. The petrochemical industry near Ploiesti was bombed heavily by American bombers. After the war, a heavy reconstruction and expansion was done under the communist regime. Since then, most of the industry was privatized.

Possessing substantial oil refining capacities, Romania is particularly interested in the Central Asia-Europe pipelines and seeks to strengthen its relations with some Persian Gulf states. With 10 refineries and an overall refining capacity of approximately 5,504,000 bbl/d (875,100 m³/d), Romania has the largest refining industry in the region. Romania's refining capacity far exceeds domestic demand for refined petroleum products, allowing the country to export a wide range of oil products and petrochemicals, -- such as lubricants, bitumen, and fertilizers -- throughout the region. ^[1]
