Nel 1935 Fauser comincia ad interessarsi alla nascente petrolchimica italiana e l’anno successivo convince il regime a fondare l’A.N.I.C. (Azienda Nazionale Idrogenazione Combustibili), costituita al 50% dalla Montecatini e al 50% dallo Stato, per la produzione di benzina e lubrificanti tramite l’idrogenazione sotto pressione degli "scadenti petroli asfaltici" albanesi.

Asphalt base oil usually yields a very small amount of gasoline by distillation, the first product ordinarily being gas oil, then lubricating oil, and the residuum, asphalt. The gas oil may be subjected to the cracking process and gasoline may be obtained in that way. The value of asphalt base oil is largely for the manufacture of lubricating oil, and the value for this purpose is determined by viscosity and sulphur content, not by gravity. The coastal oils of South Louisiana are divided into 'A' and 'B' grades, 'Grade A' being the oils that are useful in the production of lubricating oil, and the other oil being classed as 'Grade B.'
