Publishers disagree - both readings are kept

  • Exact wording on capacity: 'The project capacity of Petromidia Refinery, following the refining capacity expansion project from 1991 is 5.32 million tons raw material/year.' Note this is raw material (crude plus other feedstock), not crude only.
  • DISAGREEMENT within the same document: the company history section states that after the 2012 modernisation 'Petromidia thus became the largest refinery in Romania, with a processing capacity of 5 million tons/year'.
  • Both readings recorded; 5.32 million tons raw material/year was taken as the current project capacity statement.
  • No barrels-per-day figure is printed, so capacity_bpd is empty and no conversion was performed. 2025 actuals for context (not capacity): total processing of about 5.2-5.89 million tons, refining capacity utilisation 98.1 percent, average throughput 16.13 thousand tons per day, crude slate 57 percent KEBCO and 43 percent sweet crude, white products yield 87.1 percent. commissioned_year 1979 is the company's own history line: '1979 - The first unit - the Atmospheric Distillation Unit - is commissioned' (the plant was designed 1975-1977 as the Midia Navodari Petrochemical Plant).

What it runs on

Which crude this refinery processes is not published. Romania's crude-import mix is shown as national context - it is not this refinery's intake.

This refinery's crude intake by origin: UNKNOWN

Which crude oil Rompetrol Petromidia Refinery runs on is not published, so it is UNKNOWN. Refinery-level crude intake by origin is not public in most of Europe, and we do not allocate a national figure across refineries.

Unknown

National · RomaniaNational context — not this refinery's own figure

National context, not this refinery's intake: Romania has 2 other crude oil refineries recorded, so the import mix describes the country as a whole. In June 2026, Romania's crude imports came mainly from Kazakhstan (56%), Azerbaijan (32%) and Canada (10%).

Does the national figure describe this refinery?UnknownUnknownNo: the country has other crude refineries, and the national total is not divided between them.

"-" means the origin was not reported that month. A PARTIAL month does not add up to 100% because part of the volume was not attributed.

Outages and maintenance

Planned and unplanned shutdowns we can cite. There is no public register for EU refineries, so an empty list is not a clean record.

No public outage register exists for EU refineries (docs/DATA_SOURCES.md §L).

Strait of Hormuz: Romania's direct crude exposure (national)

The share of the country's crude imports that came from origins loading inside the Persian Gulf. Measured per country, never per refinery.

National · RomaniaNational context — not this refinery's own figure

National figure, not specific to this refinery: Between 0% and 0% of Romania's crude oil imports in July 2026 came from Hormuz-dependent origins. No point estimate is published: the origins concerned export from both inside and outside the Persian Gulf and the split per period is not public. 0% of the imported volume came from origins with no published route classification; it is counted as unknown, not as zero. The range describes the country's crude imports; which of them reached Rompetrol Petromidia Refinery is not published. Calculated

Source notes for this refinery (verbatim)

Source is Rompetrol Rafinare S.A.'s Individual Annual Report of the Board of Directors for financial year 2025, filed with the Bucharest Stock Exchange; report date March 25th, 2026. Exact wording on capacity: 'The project capacity of Petromidia Refinery, following the refining capacity expansion project from 1991 is 5.32 million tons raw material/year.' Note this is raw material (crude plus other feedstock), not crude only. DISAGREEMENT within the same document: the company history section states that after the 2012 modernisation 'Petromidia thus became the largest refinery in Romania, with a processing capacity of 5 million tons/year'. Both readings recorded; 5.32 million tons raw material/year was taken as the current project capacity statement. CAUTION: the running header on the pages carrying the 5.32 figure still reads 'for the financial year 2020', apparently un-updated boilerplate in the 2025 filing. No barrels-per-day figure is printed, so capacity_bpd is empty and no conversion was performed. 2025 actuals for context (not capacity): total processing of about 5.2-5.89 million tons, refining capacity utilisation 98.1 percent, average throughput 16.13 thousand tons per day, crude slate 57 percent KEBCO and 43 percent sweet crude, white products yield 87.1 percent. commissioned_year 1979 is the company's own history line: '1979 - The first unit - the Atmospheric Distillation Unit - is commissioned' (the plant was designed 1975-1977 as the Midia Navodari Petrochemical Plant). CONNECTIONS, exact wording: 'Direct access to the Midia Port'; 'Strategic placement in the Black Sea area, near the Constanta port'; 'Logistical facilities (Midia Marine Terminal S.R.L.) which allow for reception and delivery of the liquid products by ships, barges, rail tankers and tank wagons'; 'The supply of crude oil and other raw materials is mainly carried out through the marine terminal located in the vicinity of the Petromidia Refinery, at a distance of about 8 km from shore and through the Midia port. As an alternative, the supply may also be made through the port of Constanta ..., through the pipe of OIL TERMINAL S.A., for a distance of approximately 40 km.' The report also names Conpet S.A., Oil Terminal S.A., Midia Marine Terminal S.R.L. and Decirom S.A. as loading/unloading service providers in Constanta and Midia ports. Conpet is a service provider named in that list rather than a pipeline explicitly described as feeding this refinery, so only the Oil Terminal S.A. pipe is recorded in connected_pipelines. OWNER EMPTY: no page opened in this session stated the shareholder split of Rompetrol Rafinare S.A. (the frequently quoted KMG International 54.63 percent / Romanian Ministry of Energy 44.7 percent split was not verified against an opened page; the only Ministry of Energy shareholding found in the filing, 56.58 percent, relates to the Midia Thermal Power Plant, not to Rompetrol Rafinare). EEA register lists 'SC ROMPETROL RAFINARE SA - punct de lucru Rompetrol Rafinare - Navodari' as functional for reporting year 2024. Coordinates are from the EEA Industrial Emissions Portal (IED Annex I activity 1.2 'Refining of mineral oil and gas', ProductionInstallation table, reporting year 2024), queried via the EEA DiscoData SQL API on 2026-09-22; see https://industry.eea.europa.eu/ .
