Gazpromneft-BM is a subsidiary of Gazprom Neft, specialising in the production and sale of bitumen products. The company currently holds a leading position on the Russian bitumens market. The company now holds a leading position on the Russian bitumens market, with total sales of Gazpromneft-Bitumens’ products in 2017 reaching 2.3 million tonnes.

The company’s key production facilities are based in Moscow, Vyazma, the Omsk, Yaroslavl, Rostov and Ryazan Oblasts, as well as in Serbia and Kazakhstan. The company produces road, construction and roofing bitumens, as well as polymer-modified bitumens (PMBs) and binders, and a range of bitumen derivatives (mastic compounds, sealants, bridging tapes and more). All bitumen materials produced by Gazprom Neft are fully compliant with Russian and international quality standards.

In expanding the company’s geographic scope, and strengthening cooperation throughout the country’s regions, the first six months of this year saw agreements signed with the St Petersburg Government and the Moscow, Leningrad and Rostov Oblasts on developing cooperation in meeting the regions’ requirements for Gazprom Neft’s high-technology bitumens and bitumen-derivatives in road construction and repair. Gazpromneft-BM develops special formulations of bitumen binders and asphalt mixes, in line with the climatic conditions of each region, as well as local network traffic loads. To that end, actual road conditions, reflecting the impact of traffic on road surfaces, are simulated on unique high-tech equipment at the company’s specialist Research Centre in Ryazan.
