UPGRADING AND REFINING
Transforming resources into products of high strategic value
At the Anzoátegui Hydrocarbons Corporation (CAH), we close the production cycle through advanced improvement and refining processes.
Our work focuses on transforming the extracted crude oil, especially the heavy and extra-heavy crude oils characteristic of our oil belt, into derivative products that meet national and international quality standards.
We have the technical capacity to supervise and execute processes that optimize the physical-chemical properties of oil, guaranteeing a reliable supply of fuels and by-products essential to the economy.
Our Areas of Operation
Our priority is to strengthen local refining capacity, reducing dependence on imports and consolidating regional energy sovereignty.
Heavy Crude Oil Upgrading:
We implement technologies to reduce viscosity and eliminate impurities (sulfur, metals and sediments), transforming extra-heavy crude into a lighter and marketable product.
Refining Process Optimization:
We provide advice and technical support in distillation and fractionation for obtaining gasoline, diesel, kerosene and other derivatives.
Quality Control and Laboratory:
We perform exhaustive analyses under ASTM standards to certify that each processed barrel meets the technical specifications required by the market.
Management of
By-products:
We maximize the use of refining process waste, integrating it into value chains for industrial and petrochemical uses.
