OREANDA-NEWS. March 11, 2013. TNK-BP announces the introduction of fast-acting automatic load transfer system at Ryazan Oil Refinery Company (RORC). The overall project investment will exceed USD 7 mln.

TNK-BP is one of the largest electric energy consumers in Russia. The Company implements a consistent power supply reliability enhancement program to achieve better operations efficiency and safety.
