Crude Oil
The physical crude oil supply for Hazarmunay Refinery keeps growing and diversifying. The firm regularly trades over a million barrels per day and has access to over 10 million barrels of strategically placed storage capacity.
Our experts in crude oil trading are based at the Kazakhstani offices of Hazarmunay Refinery. They maintain enduring ties with important market participants, such as producers, refiners, logistics firms, and storage specialists, and they actively participate in the development of projects linked to both new and existing crude oil flows. They also possess first-hand knowledge and expertise in the markets.
Hazarmunay Refinery’s wide range of sources has allowed it to be independent of any one or a small number of crude oil suppliers. To make a range of goods needed in industry and transportation, crude oil is extracted, refined, and distilled. Due to constantly changing market conditions and pricing variables, crude oil is a genuinely global item that is traded extensively, with transaction prices fluctuating significantly.
Fuel Oil
Intermediate or heavy fuel oil, also referred to as residual fuel oil or bunkers, is the heavier, higher-sulfur residue that remains after the distillation process. If it is cleaned in accordance with environmental regulations, it can be utilized as a propellant on oceangoing vessels. Similar to other oil products, fuel oil prices fluctuate, and suppliers and consumers may be particularly vulnerable, calling for cautious risk management.
From those early days on, Hazarmunay Refinery has grown progressively more advanced blending, storing, and logistical capabilities globally, allowing the company to capitalize on arbitrages resulting from differences between or even inside different nations. Because finished grade criteria vary by country, gasoline blends differently in each one. This is accomplished by combining a variety of refinery streams and petrochemical components. Hazarmunay Refinery uses multiple locations to carry out its gasoline blending operations.
Bitumen & Base Oils
Bitumen is a dark-colored, semi-solid material that is mostly used as a binder in asphalt concrete while creating roads. Certain bitumen types are priced using crude or fuel oil, which exposes the involved companies to significant pricing risk and necessitates effective risk management. Hazarmunay Refinery has been involved in the sector for a long time.
Bituminous binders, sometimes called asphalt binders or just asphalt, are a kind of cementitious materials that are sticky, viscous, dark-colored, or black in hue. They are mostly made up of highly condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These materials can be found in natural deposits or as a result of processing petroleum. The principal applications for bituminous binders are in the building and upkeep of road surfaces. They work as a kind of glue to bind aggregates, such gravel and sand, together to create a sturdy pavement. For an asphalt pavement to function well, it needs a high-quality bituminous binder, especially one that is long-lasting, deformation-resistant, and weather-resistant.
Natural Gas
Natural gas is a naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon gases, mostly methane (CH4), but also frequently containing minor amounts of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and helium in addition to various amounts of other higher alkanes. It is created millions of years below the Earth’s surface when layers of rotting plant and animal materials are subjected to extreme heat and pressure. This fossil fuel is utilized as an energy source for cooking, heating, and producing electricity. It is also used as a vehicle fuel and a chemical feedstock for the production of plastics and other significant organic compounds for commerce.
A vital part of the global energy mix, natural gas is thought to be a cleaner source of electricity than other fossil fuels like coal and oil since it emits fewer greenhouse gases and the majority of pollutants. Typically, it is moved by ships carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG), or through pipelines carrying the gaseous form. Its rising demand in the context of a worldwide energy transition focused on lowering carbon emissions can be attributed to its adaptability and relatively low levels of pollutants.
Aviation Fuel
Jet A1, a kerosene-type propellant with certain fuel and engine performance criteria, is used in helicopters, turboprops, and jet aircraft. The products are traded globally, and indexes that fluctuate in value in response to changes in the balances of supply and demand are sometimes used to set pricing. Aviation companies must have the right risk management systems in place if they are to achieve assurance in a changing industry.
All airplanes with turbine engines run on jet fuel, sometimes known as kerosene. The majority of jet fuels are produced at refineries using strictly regulated processes, starting with crude oil. Approximately 6 percent of the fuel produced by refineries worldwide is made up of jet fuels. The primary distinction between Jet A and Jet A-1 grades is the freezing point. In contrast to Jet A, which freezes at -40 C, Jet A-1 freezes at -47 C or below. For some routes, the performance difference is significant. For instance, the airline would want to know the fuel’s freeze point if it were traveling across the arctic route from Washington to Tokyo.
