Gazprom Neft refineries are implementing major long-term innovative projects aimed at developing strategic technology and R&D to meet the technical requirements of its refineries. Key areas of Gazprom Neft’s innovative development programme in the refining and petrochemical business through 2025 include improving product quality (in particular, reducing sulphur and aromatic content of petrol and diesel fuels), improving refining yield, developing new types of products, improving production efficiency...

Installation of equipment for a new automated timed-loading unit for rail despatch of light petroleum products has started at Gazprom Neft’s Moscow Refinery. This project forms part of an integrated fuel-shipment infrastructure modernisation programme, itself part of the Moscow Refinery’s ongoing development since 2011. The new terminal has a throughput capacity of 2.1 million tonnes of oil products per year. Investment in building this automated timed-loading unit stands at RUB4.2 million. Construction...

Gazprom Neft’s Moscow Refinery has begun producing a unique winter diesel fuel exhibiting enhanced performance at low temperatures. With improved environmental properties, this fuel can be used under temperatures as low as −32ºC. Production of this new fuel has been made possible thanks to the commissioning of the new Euro+ refining complex in July 2020. Euro+ technologies mean winter diesels can be produced without the use of additives — the structure of the hydrocarbon itself being changed under...

Gazprom Neft goods have received high jury ratings at the “Russia’s 100 Best Products” competition, with the company’s gasoline, diesel, marine and aviation fuels, bitumen materials and lubricants (including polymer products) being included in the 2020 top 100. Motor fuels produced at the company’s Moscow and Omsk Refineries — gasoline, and winter and summer Euro-5 diesel fuels — were all recognised, with the high-performance G-DRIVE 100 fuel produced at the Omsk Refinery being awarded the “Golden...

Gazprom Neft’s Moscow Refinery has begun dismantling previous-generation facilities replaced by the plant’s new Euro+ oil refining complex. These works form part of the environmental upgrading of the Moscow Refinery, which has involved the company deploying cutting-edge technological solutions and getting rid of obsolete production facilities. Five installations are being decommissioned, dismantling of which is expected to be completed in 2021. Alexander Prokhorov, Head of Department for Investment...

Production of diesel fuels at Gazprom Neft’s own refineries — in Moscow and Omsk — is up 6.2% in 9M 2020, to 6.68 million tonnes. Gasoline production is up 2.1%, to 6.12 million tonnes. Refining depth (the conversion rate) at Gazprom Neft’s Moscow and Omsk Refineries is up by 3.3 and 3.8 percentage points, to 85.8% and 94.6%, respectively. Thanks to the launch of the high-tech Euro+ oil refining complex at the Moscow Refinery, the light product yield is also up — one of the key objectives in Gazprom...

Gazprom Neft’s Moscow Refinery has further improved the operation of its “Biosphere” biological water treatment facilities, with water — now reaching 99.9% purity — being used for steam generation in line with the plant’s requirements. This technological solution — unique to oil refining in Russia — will further reduce heat and electricity consumption. The economic benefit from these initiatives is expected to reach more than RUB120 million per year. The Biosphere is one of the key projects in the...

Supported by Gazprom Neft, the annual petrochemicals and oil refining congress, “PRC Russia & CIS” has taken place in St Petersburg, with speakers and delegates being offered the opportunity of working online or offline. Representatives from oil refining and engineering companies, R&D organisations and state agencies discussed the current state of the industry, the deployment of digital technologies, improving efficiency, and environmental performance. Refinery modernisation is an important element...

The Gazprom Neft Moscow Refinery has increased capacity at its automated tanker-loading terminal by 25%, further enhancing the security of fuel supplies to the capital and its suburbs. This cutting-edge complex, constructed in 2019, is designed to handle shipments of aviation and motor fuels to road-tankers. Terminal capacity has been increased in line with higher production at the high-tech Euro+ refining complex, thanks to which the Moscow Refinery has increased gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel...
