Phasis Oil LLC investment project implies
construction of a modern crude oil
refinery allowing for production of
Euro 6 oil products
In September 2019, Deloitte conducted a feasibility study of light
crude oil refinery to determine, if the project is a go/no go. The
study shows that the project is economically and financially feasible.
Later in January 2020, Deloitte as per request of the Client has
updated the feasibility study due to received new proposal from
Axens that significantly decreased CapEx investment. Our latest
financial model demonstrates a positive net present value (NPV) of
USD 770m and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 27.8% with a
payback period of 8 years.
Refined oil products will be marketed to a broad base of
independent retailers on the wholesale markets of Georgia,
Armenia, Ukraine, North Turkey and Mediterranean market.
In August 2019 Técnicas Reunidas completed technical audit study.
The Project’s Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) was prepared
by Eco-Spectri, an independent consultant on social and
environmental protection issues and was approved by the Ministry
of Environmental Protection and Agriculture in January 2019
Key inputs for the Phasis refinery
Annual throughput of 4.2m Metric Tonnes (94,5k barrels per day)
42% Euro 6 Gasoline
32% Euro 5 Diesel
23% Jet A1 Fuel
1.2% Residue
0.6% Sulphur
0.5% Propane
Capital expenditure and working capital of USD 1.1 bln
CapEx per tonne
USD 262
OpEx per tonne
USD 34
Georgia's strategic location and long history of oil trade create a favourable business climate
Configuration and infrastructure
The refinery is configured by TR and will have all the infrastructure to independently market its oil products by either railroad or the Black Sea
Production units were selected based on the proposals provided by TR,
Shell and Axens
Timeline
The project is structured in a single phase with the first production capacity
to be commissioned not later than 4Q 2023
