Refinery-Bred Expertise, Shared Through Collaboration
As HAOR undergoes its multi-billion dollar modernization and reconstruction, it has developed a robust framework for Collaboration as a Service.
This model allows external partners, regional operators, and technology licensors to leverage HAOR’s deep operational expertise, pilot-scale testing environments, and high-tier engineering infrastructure.
Process Engineering & Simulation
HAOR offers specialized process engineering support, utilizing its experience in managing 21 out of 24 grades of crude oil.
Collaborative planning for brownfield upgrades and greenfield integration.
Sharing real-time simulation data with partners to validate new technologies before full-scale implementation.
Leveraging HAOR’s recent transition to EURO-5 standards to guide other refineries through similar environmental and quality upgrades.
Specialized Technical Support
Through its extensive network of joint ventures (such as SOCAR-KBR), HAOR provides "as-a-service" access to:
-
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Ultrasonic, radiographic, and magnetic particle testing for pipeline and structural integrity.
-
Quality Control (QC) & Inspection: Technical supervision of installation for metal structures and piping systems based on ASME, ISO, and API standards.
-
Welding Procedure Qualification: Verification of WPS and PQR procedures for high-pressure environments.
Training and Knowledge Exchange
Collaboration at HAOR includes a dedicated focus on human capital through the G&I Training Academy and partnerships with international entities like Axens (France).
Operational Training
Hands-on training for engineers on Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC), Hydrotreating, and Isomerization units.
Safety & HSE Integration
Sharing best practices for explosive atmosphere (ATEX) control and industrial safety protocols.
