Bosnia And Herzegovina Crude Oil Production

The 4.2 Mt/year Bosanski Brod refinery, situated in the Republic of Srpska, has been modernised to produce Euro-5 fuels and MTBE. In 2018, oil refining volumes fell by 23% to 675 kt due to an emergency shutdown in October. The refinery has been idle since then and production has not restarted yet, although a new gas pipeline connecting the refinery to the natural gas transmission system of Croatia was completed in 2021. Oil product imports have more than doubled since 2010 (0.7 Mt) to 1.6 Mt in 2022.
