Aberdeen-headquartered CAN Group has secured a contract to provide in-service inspection services at one of the UK’s largest oil refineries.
The five-year contract for Essar Oil (UK) Limited’s Stanlow refinery will see CAN Group provide in-service inspection services for maintenance, turnaround and project activities with capacity to manage and resource sizeable turnarounds for the complex.
The Stanlow Manufacturing Complex is located near Ellesmere Port in Cheshire and supplies over 15% of the UK's road transport fuels. This equates to an annual production of more than two billion litres of jet fuel, three billion litres of petrol and three and a half billion litres of diesel. One of the largest refineries in the country, it processes more than nine million tonnes of crude oil a year.
