crude processing capacity of 165,000 barrels a day, produces and

facilities and 232 fuel service stations.
Plans for an IPO come as Europe’s refineries have performed well
during a collapse in oil prices that boosted margins as demand for
refined products remained robust. These businesses have been
favored by investors and energy majors alike for generating profits
even as exploration and production arms have suffered.
