The Gazprom Neft Omsk Refinery, a subsidiary of Gazprom Neft, is Russia’s largest such facility by refining volumes, and one of the most cutting-edge refineries in the country. The Omsk Refinery produces in the order of 50 types of petroleum products The Omsk Refinery produces in the order of 50 types of oil products, including high-octane gasolines, diesel and marine (bunkering) fuels, aviation kerosene, bitumen, household gas, heavy fuel oil (mazut), industrial sulphur, and other products in line with market demand.

A major modernisation programme was initiated at the Omsk Refinery in 2008, the aim of which was to create, to all intents and purposes, a new enterprise, and a market leader in terms of technology. The first phase of this refurbishment involved the construction and refurbishment of key technological facilities, allowing the Omsk Refinery to move over the exclusive production of Euro-5 gasolines, as well as significantly improving the plant’s energy efficiency and environmental friendliness. The implementation of the modernisation programme at the Omsk Refinery has seen the environmental impacts of production reducing by 36 percent in recent years, despite refining volumes increasing by one third. The second stage of the modernisation programme has seen refining depth increasing to match that of the world’s best, at 97 percent, with environmental impacts reducing by a further 28 percent.
