KHABAROVSK PETROLEUM REFINERY,
"ORDZHONIKIDZE" 419, USSR

I
Khabarovsk Petroleum Refinery, one of the two major refineries* in the
Soviet Far East, is located on the northwest outskirts of Khabarovsk. The
refinery proper occupies an area of approximately 185 acres. Buildings
and equipment occupy approximately 50-60,70 of this area. Collateral
.reports indicate that the refinery receives the major portion of its crude
oil supply from the Sakhalin Island oilfields via pipeline to Komsomolsk,
thence by river tankers to Khabarovsk. Additional crude oil is also
supplied by rail tank cars from the Ural-Volga area.
Approximately 87 storage tanks ranging in diameter from 10 to 114
feet are located within the refinery area. The total storage capacity of
these tanks is estimated to be approximately 1,401,500 barrels. Khabarovsk
Petroleum Storage , located just southwest of the
refinery, contains approximately 25 vertical and 5 horizontal tanks with
an estimated capacity of 105,025 barrels. This storage area is connected
by pipeline to the refinery and the petroleum pier.
An asphalt plant is located in the north part of the refinery area
while the primary and secondary distillation units are located in the
southern part -of the refinery. Although heavy shadows and the scale of
photography preclude an exact determination of distillation processes and
equipment, the major identifiable components of this refinery are shown
on the accompanying photograph and. line drawing and described in the key
to annotations.
*The other major petroleum refinery is located at Komsomolsk and re-
ported in CIA, PIC R-4 5y dated June 59.
