Dax Oil Refino, the first private refinery in Bahia, announced it will double its oil barrel production.

The company stated that its production will increase to 4,000 bpd, up from the 2,500 bpd currently produced. Dax Oil Refino is already anticipating an increase for 2021. The refinery produces gasoline “A”, diesel oil, fuel oil, paraffin, and solvents.

Francisco Carlos Carvalho, the company’s director, says that “The expansion is already completed and we are waiting for the inspection from the National Petroleum Agency (ANP).” The director also mentioned that the company is considering increasing production to 8,000 bpd for next year. According to Francisco, the company’s estimated investment is R$ 50 million, which could generate 50 new job positions in the Camaçari Hub, in addition to the current 282 direct and indirect job positions.

The director further stated, “The expansion of our refining capacity aims primarily to meet the increased supply of oil produced by independent producers, which should occur after the sale/auctions of mature fields by Petrobras.” He also emphasized that “the possibility of greater oil acquisition will consequently contribute to generating more jobs and income for the municipality of Camaçari and for the state of Bahia.”

João Leão, Secretary of Economic Development of the State of Bahia, stated that “The benefits this expansion will bring are undoubtedly very important for the region. We are experiencing a global crisis, and having new investments in sight is extremely relevant.”

The oil refining company will add another 50 new direct and indirect jobs to the current 79 direct job positions, 53 outsourced, and 150 indirect.

The director, when questioned about the expansion project, said that “Today, our plant has an installed/authorized capacity by the ANP to refine 2,500 bpd. With the expansion that has already been completed for an additional 1,500 b/d, it totals 4,000 bpd.” He added, “The current project is completed and will start operating as soon as the ANP conducts the final inspection. After this release, we will initiate a new revamp for an additional 8,000 bpd, bringing the installed capacity to 12,000 b/d, expected to commence operation in the second half of 2021.”
