Шаблон:Infobox oil refinery The Abadan refinery (Шаблон:Lang-fa Pālāyeshgāh-e Ābādān) is an oil refinery in Abadan, Iran near the coast of the Persian Gulf.

History

Built by the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (later BP) on the basis of a lease obtained in 1909,[1] it was completed in 1912 as a pipeline terminus, and was one of the world's largest oil refineries. In 1927, oil exports from Abadan totalled nearly 4.5 million tons.[1]

Its nationalisation in 1951 prompted the Abadan Crisis and ultimately the toppling of the democratically elected[2] prime minister Mossaddegh.[3] The refinery was largely destroyed in September 1980 by Iraq during the initial stages of the Iraqi invasion of Iran's Khuzestan province, triggering the Iran–Iraq War.Шаблон:Citation needed It had a capacity of 635,000 b/d in 1980 and formed a refinery complex with important petrochemical plants. Its capacity stated to bounce back after the war ended in 1988, and was listed in 2013 as Шаблон:Convert of crude oil.[4]

In December 2017, Sinopec signed a US$1 billion deal to expand the Abadan refinery.[5] Work on the second phase of the project was suspended in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Iran.[6]
