Technology

Today new technologies allow oil and gas companies to develop hard-to-recover oil reserves and expands their exploration and production in new regions. While increasing operating efficiency, maintaining stability, and gaining access to resources in exchange for technological competencies.

RE-REFININING – AN INDUSTRY LEADING TECHNOLOGY

The advanced hydro-treating technology allows us to re-refine used lubricants to API II/II+ base oils and relieve them from the waste status.

Our process handles 70 000 tons of used lubricants annually for an output of 50 000 tons of high quality base oils. Side products include gas oils and bitumen flux, all of them carrying a product status.

As defined in the EU waste directive, re-refining of used oils for base oil production is given priority over incineration and energy recovery. As a result of their physical characteristics, used lubricants can be rerefined indefinitely.

RE-REFINING SAVES NATURAL RESOURCES

• re-refinining is 350 kg / CO2 negative vs. primary production’s 700 kg / ton positive
• ~100 % renewable raw material is rerefined
• 0 % waste is generated
• re-refining is three (3) times more energy efficient

Safety Culture

The safety culture of Bocan Energy is based on the personal responsibility of each employee and the involvement of all employees of the company and representatives of contractors in the process of improving the safety level. This priority is reflected in the general corporate slogan of Bocan Energy– “Safety begins with you”. One of the key tools for enhancing production culture is training. In 2025, 644 employees of Bocan Energy took courses in various programs, including Safety Rules in the Oil and Gas Industry and Environmental Safety and others. The enterprise annually conducts training sessions in order to develop the skills of personnel to eliminate possible accidents, as well as to interact in this direction with government bodies of different levels.

Contractor management is one of the priorities of Bocan Energy in the field of industrial safety. The company provides conditions for the safe work of its employees and requires the same from partners. To conduct a constructive dialogue with partners, the company conducts quarterly meetings with the first heads of contractors, at which the results of work for the reporting period in the field of industrial safety are summed up, problematic issues in interaction are discussed and plans for the future period are determined. Contractors are rated on a quarterly basis, which makes it possible to promptly implement corrective programs.

As part of the Stages strategy of interaction with contractors, Bocan Energy carries out daily joint monitoring of compliance with industrial and environmental safety requirements at its own facilities. The monitoring involves employees of mobile groups of security companies and employees of the Occupational Safety Directorate (UPB). Also, UPB employees audit contractors at the stage of prequalification of contractors and at the stage of their admission to work, conduct monthly training on corporate standards in the field of industrial environmental safety of managers and specialists of contractors.
