665.753.2:658.5 and V. V. Bulatnikov ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ LUKOIL-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez OJSC. LUKOIL OJSC.MGATKhT. VNII NP OJSC.A medium -term investment program for developing and revamping the company was completed at LUKOIL-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez Co. in 2005. The goal was to increase profitability by producing products that satisfy the current requirements of domestic and foreign markets while simultaneously reducing operating expenses.The program provided for production of petroleum products of European quality: motor fuels, lubricants, waxes, additives, etc., by introducing new energy -saving technologies using modern engineering.In developing the plan for revamping and developing the company according to the requirements of ISO series 9000 international standards with respect to quality, the markets for sale of petroleum products up to 2010 were investigated. As a result, it was found that the demand for jet and diesel fuels will continuously increase both inside the country and abroad. The projected potential annual sales volumes for jet fuel to 2010 for the company are 2 million tons.The progress of domestic jet fuels manufactured by LUKOIL on international markets has been held back because of different requirements for the fuel imposed by the manufacturers of aircraft engines. Despite the fact that batch domestic jet fuels of grades TS -1 and RT (GOST 10227) are much better than Jet A -1 jet fuel with respect to many performance properties and physicochemical indexes, their use for Pratt & Whitney, Rolls -Royce, and General Electric aircraft engines is very limited. This is due to different approaches to assessing the reliability of aviation engineering work as a function of the performance properties of jet fuels.0009-3092/06/4204-0243
