					<yandex:full-text> 
&lt;p&gt;At the end of December 2011, Gazpromneft-Nefteservis completed the sale of two of the main production unit&amp;rsquo;s companies - Servisnaya Burovaya Kompaniya (SBK) and KRS-Servis (KRS). Both assets were bought by &lt;a href=&quot;http://ru-energ.ru/en/home&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; &gt;OJSC RU-Energy Group&lt;/a&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;/upload/medialibrary/c7b/c7bc08ae46f991eafe3e5925b21752c3.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Сайт откроется в новом окне&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;externallinks_.jpg&quot; width=&quot;10px&quot; height=&quot;10px&quot;  /&gt;. The deals were approved by the Russian Federal Anti-monopoly Service. &lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;SBK and KRS will retain their long-term contracts with the Gazprom Neft group companies, with a guaranteed amount of work by the end of 2013. The agreements also provide for the continuation of the new owner's obligations to comply with the conditions of collective employment agreements adopted by Servisnaya Burovaya Kompaniya and KRS-Servis.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The decision to spin off the oilfield service companies from Gazprom Neft was made by the Board of Directors in March 2010, while the programme to withdraw from the oil field services business ran until the end of 2011. Muravlenkovskaya Transportnaya Kompaniya was sold at the end of January 2011, SpetsTransServis, &lt;a href=&quot;/press-center/news/4368/&quot; &gt;Noyabrskaya Tsentralnaya Trubnaya Baza&lt;/a&gt; and Servisnaya Transportnaya Kompaniya were sold in the summer, and &lt;a href=&quot;/press-center/news/4631/&quot; &gt;YamalServisTsentr was sold&lt;/a&gt; in October.

&lt;p&gt;&quot;The finalisation of the transactions for the sale of SBK and KRS completes the company&amp;rsquo;s programme to withdraw from the oil field services business, which has enabled Gazprom Neft to reduce costs and promote competition in the relevant markets&quot;, said &lt;a href=&quot;/company/management/management.php#dyukov&quot; &gt;Alexander Dyukov&lt;/a&gt;, Chairman of Gazprom Neft&amp;rsquo;s Executive Board &lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

	<title>Gazprom Neft introduces Deparaffination Process at Omsk Refinery's Diesel Fuel Hydrotreatment Unit</title>
	<link>http://gazprom-neft.com/press-center/news/4819/</link>
	<description></description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://media.gazprom-neft.ru/picts/picts_repository/tn468x450-_DSC0060.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Omsk Oil Refinery&quot; hspace=&quot;10&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; alt=&quot;Omsk Oil Refinery&quot; width=&quot;200px&quot; height=&quot;133px&quot;  /&gt;Modernisation of &lt;a href=&quot;http://onpz.gazprom-neft.ru/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; &gt;Omsk Oil Refinery&lt;/a&gt;'s diesel fuel hydrotreatment unit has seen the introduction of a deparaffination process, which allows the processing of summer diesel fuel into winter diesel fuel. The new technology will increase the refinery&amp;rsquo;s output of winter diesel fuel by over 32 thousand tonnes per month during the seasonal high-demand period.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt; The deparaffination process enables the production of winter fuel from summer fuel through the transformation of high melting wax. The resulting fuel has increased performance characteristics, particularly a lower congelation point and the limiting filterability temperature which reaches -38&amp;ordm;C.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The capacity of Omsk Refinery's diesel fuel hydrotreatment unit is 1.2 million tonnes per year. In 2011 the refinery's diesel fuel production volume reached 6.1 million tonnes showing a 1.4% increase compared to the same period of the previous year.&lt;/p&gt;
