Bitumen Products
Russia’s market-leading producer of Bitumen materials
Gazprom Neft bitumen business operated by Gazpromneft Bitumen Materials (Gazpromneft BM LLC) now holds a leading position in the production and sale of traditional and innovative bituminous materials on the Russian bitumens market — premium class bitumen volume was over 100,000 tonnes at the end of 2016.
Sales of bitumen materials, million tonnes
The company’s key bitumen-producing facilities are located in Moscow, Omsk, Yaroslavl, Ryazan Regions, Serbia and Kazakhstan. Gazprom Neft’s refineries produce road, construction and roofing bitumens, as well as polymer-bitumen binders (PBB) and bitumen emulsions. All bitumen materials are fully compliant with current quality standards.
In 2015, the Company completed the first stage of modernising an asset it acquired in 2014 — the Ryazan Bituminous Materials Plant, Russia’s largest producer of polymer-bitumen binders.
At the beginning of 2016 Gazpromneft Bitumen Materials, operator of the Gazprom Neft bitumens business, has acquired a
New Standards
Gazprom Neft proactively invests in the development of bitumen production and in improving the quality of its bitumen materials.
Since 2012, the company has organised an inter-industry conference “Bitumen and Polymer-Modified Asphalt Cements. Topical Issues” to discuss the use of bitumen materials in Russia’s road construction.
In 2013, the Gazprom Neft Moscow Refinery became the first in Russia to produce bitumens meeting a new provisional standard which now form the basis for new GOST standards 33133-2014.
In Moscow, 2014, the Gazprom Neft and Total PMB began production of the new G-Way Styrelf premium polymer-modified bitumen: this differs from similar applications due to the addition of a special binding agent (PAXL) which results in additional bonding at the molecular level.
Road Surface Testing
Gazprom Neft is actively engaged in the application and monitoring of experimental road-test zones, constructed with the use of polymer-modified bitumens.
Quality for Our Customers
Gazprom Neft supplies bitumen materials throughout Russia and the CIS by road and rail.
The company delivers bitumen products using specialised bitumen carriers. This service ensures that the products are delivered on time and retain their binding qualities.
Deliveries to remote regions are made in rail tankers and one-tonne containers known as “Clovertainers”. This type of packaging ensures safe transportation and storage of the bitumen materials and ensures year-round deliveries to remote and hard-to-access regions.
