... additional volumes of gasoline and diesel fuel for the Moscow Oblast market. The hydrocracking section will form the basis for the Moscow Refinery’s future deep refining complex, to be fully constructed by 2025, completing the plant’s full-scale modernisation programme. Launching the complex will increase refining depth to almost 100%, will eliminate the production of mazut, and will see the plant move to virtually zero-waste production. “We are using the best solutions and technologies — ...

... increased by 9.1%, reaching 1.1 million tonnes. Gazprom Neft’s refineries saw a 6.9% increase in production of commercial road and construction bitumens against Q1 2020, reaching 400,000 tonnes. This increase in production volumes is the result of modernisation projects at the company’s refining facilities, including the launch of the Euro+ refining complex in July 2020, with refining depth (the “conversion factor”) at the company’s Moscow and Omsk Refineries now reaching 82.5% and 92.6%,...

Gazprom Neft has joined the Russia Renewable Energy Association (RREDA). The RREDA brings together generation companies, renewable energy project developers, equipment manufacturers and suppliers, R&D centres and financial institutions in developing the use of renewable energy sources (RES) and promoting investment in this area. Gazprom Neft will be represented on the RREDA by its Gazpromneft-Energoservice subsidiary. Gazprom Neft has been consistently developing RES projects throughout its various...

Having received approval from Glavgosekspertiza, Russia, the Slavneft-YaNOS Refinery is starting construction of its delayed coking unit (DCU) — thanks to which the plant will terminate all production of heavy fuel oil, with the plant’s refining depth and light product yield expected to exceed 99% and 70%, respectively, as a result. Construction works are expected to be completed by 2024. This project is being implemented in two stages: the first will include construction of the DCU, which will...

The Gazprom Neft Omsk Refinery has taken delivery of major equipment for construction of a hydro-isodewaxing complex. This future complex will produce core components for synthetic motor and industrial lubricants, allowing the company to abandon the use of imported alternatives in production completely. Gazprom Neft’s investments in this project stand at more than RUB32 billion. Column- and chemical-reactor apparatus has been produced by leading Russian enterprises Uralkhimmash and Volgogradneftemash...

Saving water is one of the key priorities in Gazprom Neft’s ongoing development of its directly-owned refineries, in Moscow and Omsk. As at end-2020, the Moscow Refinery had delivered a four-told reduction in water consumption and wastewater volumes — these savings having been made possible thanks to innovative “Biosphere” biological treatment facilities. These water-treatment technologies, developed by Russian scientists, guarantee water purification of up to 99.9%, allowing water to be returned...

Gazprom Neft succeeded in cutting energy, heating and fuel costs across its directly owned refineries (in Moscow and Omsk) throughout 2020, with energy-saving initiatives delivering savings of RUB400 million. Consistent improvement in managing energy consumption in production is a key element in Gazprom Neft’s ongoing refining-facilities development programme. Gazprom Neft’s Moscow and Omsk refineries implemented a total 40 energy-saving initiatives in 2020. The Moscow Refinery has further improved...

A digital electricity metering and electrical-equipment control-room management system has been deployed at Gazprom Neft’s Moscow Refinery. This cutting-edge automated hardware and software complex monitors the status and operation of key energy facilities at the plant, with all information being broadcast onto the wall of the new control room, in real time. This project has been implemented as part of a digital oversight strategy for monitoring and managing electrical equipment throughout Gazprom...
