Abadan Refineryとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Abadan refinery (Persian: پالایشگاه آبادان, Palayeshkahe Abadan) was located in Abadan near the coast of the Persian Gulf. It was completed in 1912 and was one of world's largest oil refineries when it was destroyed in 1980 by Iraq in the Iraq-Iran war. Its nationalisation in 1951 prompted the Abadan Crisis and ultimately the toppling of the Mossaddegh regime. The refinery had a capacity of 635,000 b/d in 1980 and formed a refinery complex with important petrochemical plants. Its capacity has been increased steadily since the war ended in 1988. Its capacity is now listed as 400,000 bbl/d (64,000 m³/d) crude oil.
