March Had the Best Result of the Year and Months After the Fire, Replan in Paulínia (SP) Is Recovering with Numbers, Yet Still Low Compared to Those Measured in 2018.

According to data from ANP, the Paulínia Refinery (Replan), considered the largest of Petrobras, processed in March 2019, 1,619,448 cubic meters of refined oil.
The result was the best performance of the year, but still 9.69% lower compared to the same period last year.

The performance also marks the recovery of the Paulínia refinery after spending more than five months with units shut down due to an explosion followed by a fire that occurred in August 2018.

After the incident, Replan was granted permission to operate at full capacity on January 25 of this year and thus was able to gradually increase oil refining in 2019.

Unfortunately, other refinery fires have also occurred here in Brazil, such as the incident at the Manguinhos refinery, in the North zone of Rio de Janeiro, which occurred in December of last year.

Replan’s Performance

Replan is responsible for 21% of all oil refining in Brazil, the Paulínia Refinery produces gasoline, diesel, aviation kerosene, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), fuel oil, asphalt, and other derivatives.
Some derivatives, according to the ANP survey, showed an increase in production compared to March 2018.

To get an idea of Replan’s importance to Brazil, the derivatives produced by it serve the following markets: Interior of São Paulo, Sul de Minas, Triângulo Mineiro, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Rondônia, Acre, Goiás, Brasília (DF), and Tocantins.
