Comment: This refinery, a high priority
project, has been under construction for several years. It is the
second such refinery in Baku and the sixth in the Soviet Union capable
of producing high octane gasoline. The others are located in the general
Caspian area at Gurev, Grozny, Krasnovodsk and Orsk (see map, p. 4).
No refineries capable of producing 100-octane
gasoline are known to exist elsewhere in the Soviet Union or in Communist
China.
