•  MIDOR refinery is distinguished by its ability to reprocess some low quality products such as Fuel Oil (residual oil) and Waxy Distillates (VGO). Whereas they are converted into high quality products using Hydrocracker and Delayed Coker benefiting from the available capacity in these two units and to reach their ultimate operation capacity.

•  With MIDOR's successful supply chain system; the company effectively attained the needed capability of inventory control of petroleum products, thus participated in achieving high revenue compared to other refineries, through a keen provision of global markets and price trends during deficiency periods and thus attaining highest prices.
