Future Developments

We believe that our business will be sustained by good fundamentals going forward, but we are aware that the market will be increasingly selective and will reward those able to chart its trends and optimise every phase of the value generation process.

Developing the talents of our people will continue to be a decisive tool in our pursuit of excellence.

Saras' strategy has always been centred on the ongoing technological upgrade of the plants and on the constant pursuit of optimisation and production synergies

Although a production site of the scale and complexity of that of Saras requires constant maintenance and technological upgrades, it also offers many options in terms of optimisation, production synergies and sometimes even significant developments.
In the coming years we will continue to invest in the refinery to maximise the production of transport fuels while at the same time minimising energy consumption, by seeking to fully exploit the flexibility, in terms of raw materials, allowed by our production facility. In particular we see some interesting opportunities from the growing crude oil production from the Caspian sea and west Africa.

Improving the quality of production and energy efficiency will therefore be the common denominators of our major development projects in the next few years.
