OAO Lukoil, Russia’s second-largest oil company, installed a coking unit at its Volgograd refinery to raise the quality of fuels it produces.
The petroleum coke produced in the unit will be sold to metals producers as a coal substitute, Dmitry Dolgov, a spokesman, said by telephone from Moscow. The unit, which can process 1 million metric tons a year, also makes gasoline components, according to a statement today.
