Turkmenneft Seydi Refinery — Turkmenistan
Refinery in Turkmenistan. Approximate location 39.41989, 62.84378.
RefineryTurkmenistanCO₂ estimate (modelled)
Turkmenneft Seydi Refinery is a refinery in Turkmenistan. Its listed capacity is 120,000 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. It is operated by Turkmennebit. By capacity it ranks #1 among 2 oil refineries in Turkmenistan. It emits about 365,077 t CO₂e a year from Climate TRACE. That is 7.5% of the CO₂e from the 9 facilities in Turkmenistan that have an emissions figure in IndustryAtlas. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is 65% below the national median for this sector.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1753814.

In context: how this facility compares
At 120,000 BBL per day, Turkmenneft Seydi Refinery is around the median refinery in Turkmenistan (120,000 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.
