Production of gasoline and diesel fuels at Gazprom Neft’s own refineries — in Moscow and Omsk — is up 6.5% (at 5.53 million tonnes) and 1% (at 6.95 million tonnes) respectively in 9M 2021. Total refining volumes increased by 7.6% year-on-year, reaching 24.2 million tonnes — a 3.2% increase on the level achieved for 9M 2019. Thanks to a number of initiatives to combat the spread of COVID-19 Gazprom Neft’s Moscow and Omsk Refineries have been able to maintain continuous production to ensure market supplies of sought-after products.

Production of modern high-performance G-Drive gasoline and winter diesel fuel was also up 24.8% and 9.2% respectively in this reporting period, while production of aviation kerosene was up 37.4%, reaching 1.88 million tonnes. Production of Gazprom Neft construction and road bitumens was also up 12.8%, reaching 1.7 million tonnes while the Moscow Refinery also produced 21,100 tonnes of innovative polymer—bitumen binders, increasing production of this product 10.38% year-on-year.

“We pay considerable attention to improving the operational efficiency of our refining assets, and are continuing our extensive modernisation programme, deploying digital control systems and building cutting-edge production facilities. We have been implementing a number of anti-COVID measures to protect our staff and maintain continuous production. That sort of integrated approach means we can increase production quickly in response to consumer demand.”
