Kherson Oil Refinery (OJSC "Kherson Refinery")[2] is the third[3] largest oil refinery in Ukraine,[4] can[5] annually process 7.1 million tons of oil as of 2005. It was built in 1938.

## History

[edit]

The plant was built in 1938. The refinery operated six barracks, a cultural centre and two emergency buildings heated by hot steam.

In August 2005, the Kherson refinery was shut down to prepare for reconstruction, which was to be completed by 2010. In preparation for the reconstruction of the Kherson refinery, in late 2006 and early 2007, CJSC Kherson Oil Refinery was established, founded by LLC Oil Company Alliance-Ukraine and OJSC Kherson Oil Refinery Complex.

On 20 May 2009, according to the UNIAN news agency, CJSC Kherson Oil Refinery completed the first stage of production modernisation and was ready to start operating, but the launch of the enterprise was postponed indefinitely.[6]

In 2017, the Kherson Oil Refinery was scheduled to be reconstructed again, as a result of which the company's capacity was to increase to 4.5 million tonnes of oil per year.[7]
