LUKOIL Ukhta Refinery — Russian Federation
Refinery in Russian Federation. Approximate location 63.57536, 53.72262.
RefineryRussian FederationCO₂ estimate (modelled)
LUKOIL Ukhta Refinery is a refinery in Russian Federation. Its listed capacity is 78,000 BBL per day. Refineries heat, fractionate and chemically transform crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through energy-intensive distillation and cracking — extremely demanding on steam generation and heat recovery. The owner listed in the source dataset is LUKOIL PJSC. By capacity it ranks #30 among 32 oil refineries in Russian Federation. It emits about 476,729 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 0.20% of the CO₂e from the 186 facilities in Russian Federation that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its annual CO₂e divided by listed capacity is 29% below the dataset-wide median for this sector. This is a capacity-normalised comparison, not emissions per unit of actual production.

In context: how this facility compares
At 78,000 BBL per day, LUKOIL Ukhta Refinery is below the median refinery in Russian Federation (166,000 BBL per day). Subsector: oil-and-gas-refining. As refinery, it requires high process heat (typically 200–600°C) for its core industrial operations, supplied by boilers, furnaces or direct combustion. Refineries heat, fractionate and chemically transform crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through energy-intensive distillation and cracking — extremely demanding on steam generation and heat recovery.
