Шаблон:Short description ATAŞ, short for "Anadolu Tasfiyehanesi Anonim Şirketi" (literally: Anatolian Refinery Joint-stock Company), is a former oil refinery company in Mersin, southern Turkey. Currently, The facility is used as an oil storage and terminal.

Oil refinery

ATAŞ was established in 1958 following a special agreement between the Turkish government and the foreign oil companies Mobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Caltex. Caltex later sold its share to Mobil.[1] Currently, the main shareholder is BP with 68%. Other partners are Shell & Turcas Petrol (27%) and Turcas (5%).[2][3]

The refinery was built by the Swiss contractor Foster Wheeler AG.[4] It was put into operation on 30 April 1962.[5] The company's headquarters as well as its facilities are located in Akdeniz district of Mersin at Шаблон:Coord.[6] to the east of the city center. Its annual production was 3.2 million tonnes. On 7 June 2004, ATAŞ gave up refining crude oil.[5] With the shut down of the refinery after 42-year of production, households and industry facilities in 24 provinces of the Mediterranean and Southeastern Anatolia regions faced fuel oil shortage. Temporary supply from the Шаблон:Cvt far away Tüpraş Kırıkkale Oil Refinery caused an increase of oil prices around 11%.[7]

Oil terminal

The facility was converted after investments into a large-scale storage and terminal for fuel oil, diesel oil and gasoline.[2][3] It underwent a renovation between 2004 and 2006 carried out by Foster Wheeler,[8] the original contractor in the 1960s. The terminal on the Mediterranean Sea coast is suitable for docking of high-capacity tankers.[5] The storage capacity of ATAŞ terminal is Шаблон:Cvt.[2][3]

Beginning in 2015, the municipality of Akdeniz ilçe (district) has been making efforts to convert the campus of ATAŞ Terminal, which stress over Шаблон:Cvt and became inactive after the closure of the refinery, into a public park for social and cultural events by preserving its historical characteristic.[9][10]
