LUKOIL resumes ethylene, propylene production at Stavrolen

Thus, LUKOIL has completed its repair-and-renewal operations to cure the effects of a fire outbreak at the ethylene production unit in mid-December of 2011 which caused temporary suspension of operations.

Polypropylene production was temporarily resumed on 11 March 2012 using raw stock, propylene, purchased from Karpatneftekhim (a LUKOIL subsidiary) and from a number of other Russian manufacturers.

Parallel to the repair-and-renewal operations at the ethylene production unit, the other unit, for production of polyethylene, also underwent scheduled repairs.
