据路透社萨拉热窝报道，波斯尼亚地区能源部长日前表示，波斯尼亚唯一的炼油厂布罗德炼油厂可能在2020年年中完成大修，超过之前的计划，从而消除有关这个负债累累的炼油厂可能被关闭的猜测。

波斯尼亚炼油厂由俄罗斯国有石油公司扎鲁别日石油公司（Zarubezhneft）旗下的子公司Neftegazinkor拥有多数股权。今年1月份，波斯尼亚炼油厂遭遇爆炸袭击，造成1名工人死亡，9人受伤，这个炼油厂随后被关闭。

波斯尼亚炼油厂所在的波斯尼亚塞族自治共和国的能源部长佩塔尔?乔基奇曾表示，这个炼油厂可能在一年内重新开工。

周二，乔基奇告诉地区议会，俄罗斯能源部长和政府总理已经表示，俄罗斯扎鲁别日石油公司不会撤出波斯尼亚，但将在2020年中期重新启动这个炼油厂的生产。

审计人员曾警告称，这家具有年加工120万吨原油能力的炼油厂可能面临偿债能力问题，因其亏损累积且负债超过资产，但布罗德炼油厂否认了这些说法。

此后，俄罗斯通过从俄罗斯天然气工业石油公司(Gazprom Neft)持有多数股权的塞尔维亚国家石油公司(NIS)进口原油来满足布罗德炼油厂的原油需求。

Overhaul of Bosnian oil refinery to be completed in mid-2020

An overhaul of Bosnia's sole oil refinery Brod could be completed in mid-2020, past the previous plans, a regional energy minister said on Tuesday, dismissing speculation that the debt-laden plant might be closed down.

The refinery, majority owned by Russia's Neftegazinkor, a unit of state-owned oil company Zarubezhneft, was shut in January after it had been hit by a blast which killed one worker and injured nine.

Petar Djokic, the energy minister of Bosnia's autonomous Serb Republic, where the refinery is located, had said the operations could restart in a year.

On Tuesday, Djokic told the region's parliament that Russian energy and prime ministers have said the Russian companies would not pull out of Bosnia but would restart production at the refinery in mid-2020.

Auditors warned the refinery, which processed 1.2 million tonnes of crude annually, may face liquidity problems after it piled up losses and its liabilities exceeded assets, but Brod has dismissed those claims.

Oil demand has since been covered through imports from Serbian oil company NIS, majority owned by Russia's Gazprom Neft .
