SOCAR's STAR oil refinery to supply jet fuel for Istanbul Airport
Azerbaijan SOCAR's STAR oil refinery will supply 700,000 metric tpy (about 15,000 bpd) of jet fuel to Istanbul Airport for three years starting from 2025, Socar Turkey said in a LinkedIn post.
SOCAR's deal is part of a wider 4.8 MMtpy (around 104,000 bpd) jet tender by Turkish Fuel Services (TFS), the airport's supplier, according to a source familiar with the deal.
Turkish private refiner Tupras won that tender in October and will supply 1.8 MMtpy (39,000 bpd), the company announced.
The STAR refinery has a capacity to process 200,000 bpd of crude. It produced 1.26 MMt (27,000 bpd) of jet fuel in 2023, up from 979,000 tons (21,000 bpd) in 2022, according to the most recent data available from Turkey's energy regulator.
Russia was Turkey's top jet fuel supplier last year, accounting for 22,000 bpd of 28,000 bpd imported, according to data analytics provider Kpler.
