Abstract
Most of "the countries concerned cover almost all their needs in
petroleum products. As a corollary, the local refinery industry -
is keeping pace. With increased demand and any extension to or
improvement in the refinery could be carried out faster- if tenders
were offered to engineering firms.
Apart from the Suez refineries which have been repairedr only one
refinery out of the already existing ones will probably be extended
and start production by 197Or namely the Alexandria refinery'in the
UARP owned by the Alexandria Petroleum. "This refinery will increase
its annual capacity from lt400E000 tons to 2c5OO.OOO tons;, the
engineering firm is Technoexport (Czechoslovakia), The other
projected extensions in Morocco (Sidi Kacem and Mohammedia) and in
Tunisia (Bizerta) which have not been confirmed' are not expected
at least within the next four years to increase the production of
these countries.
