Plan for reconstruction of NIS in February - Kiril Kravčenko already dismissed some workers in company
Company "Gazpromneft" plans to start realization of the programme for reconstruction of Petroleum Industry of Serbia (NIS) this month.
- Reconstruction will start with the realization of the tender for
procurement of basic equipment and selection of companies that will modernize
NIS – said Dmitrij Mališev, the President of the Administrative Board of NIS.
According to his words, realization of “complex and deep reconstruction and
modernization of technology complex for oil refining” is the first on the list
of planned activities. Mališev said that the capacities of the oil refining
unit, part of the structure of NIS, reached 7.3m tons, and that the annual refining
level ranged between 3.8 and 4.3m tons.
According to Russian media, the reason for that is the low quality of
production and, Following the reconstruction, the situation will be changed.
"Gazpromneft" has promised to Serbia that it will organize production
of European quality (the one that meets euro-5 standards) in the companies of
NIS and, among the rest, maintenance of the existing level of exploitation and
realization of reconstruction of the distributive network of NIS, which
encompasses over 450 gas stations, is in the pipeline.
"Gazpromneft" finished the procurement of 51% of Serbian company NIS on February 3, 2009, and, as Internet portal "EnergyObserver" learned from unofficial sources, the new Director General of the Petroleum Industry of Serbia, Kiril Kravčenko, has already started reorganization of the personnel structure in that company.
According to the source of "EnergyObserver", Kravčenko dismissed three assistants of the CEO of NIS Petrol – the assistant for investments, for external procurements, and for internal procurements.
