Abadan Refinery
The
Abadan refinery
(
Palayeshgah-e Abadan
) is located in
Abadan
near the coast of the
Persian Gulf
. Built by the
Anglo-Persian Oil Company
(later
BP
), it was completed in 1912 and was one of world's largest
oil refineries
. Its nationalisation in 1951 prompted the
Abadan Crisis
and ultimately the
toppling
of the
Mossaddegh
regime.
