Economy
The municipality of Priolo Gargallo is recognized as the operational base for the Priolo Gargallo complex. This industrial site incorporates the two distinct but integrated refineries, known as ISAB Nord and ISAB Sud, which are positioned within the complex. Both facilities are under the ownership and control of the Russian energy conglomerate, Lukoil.
These two refineries are functionally linked by a network of pipelines and operate cohesively, enabling them to achieve a combined crude oil processing capacity of 16 million metric tons per year.[3]
