In May 2019, Afipka became part of the SAFMAR Group of Mikhail Gutseriev and came under the management of ForteInvest. The enterprise established the supply of raw materials and completely restored production activities. In the fall, the enterprise began an active phase of upgrade, i.e. the construction of the main upgrade facility, an HCU complex, was launched at Afipka.

The plan is to complete this stage of work as soon as possible, namely, by Q3 2022. By this period, the main facilities included in the HCU complex will be completed. It includes the hydrocracking unit itself and Utilities, Infrastructure and Offsites (UI&O), the hydrogen unit and the sulfur plant. In addition to the construction of the HCU complex, the upgrade includes for the construction of a delayed coking unit (DCU) in the near future. The commencement of construction and installation works at this facility is scheduled for mid-2020, and the completion of works for 2023.

Following the commissioning of the new HCU complex and DCU, the production capabilities for advanced petroleum refining and for the production of marketable products will significantly change. For instance, the refining depth will increase from 76.7% to 98.1%, and the yield of light petroleum products will be 87.7% vs. 54.2% for the current period. Following the upgrade results, it is planned that the enterprise will exclude fuel oil and vacuum gas oil from the product line, using them as semi-finished products for further processing and production of high-quality light petroleum products that are in high demand on the market.
