The Omsk Refinery (Russian: Омский нефтеперерабатывающий завод) is an oil refinery plant in the Russian city of Omsk, one of the largest in the country. This refinery has belonged to the Russian state-owned company Gazprom since 1995.
History
In 1949, Soviet authorities approved the decision to construct a new oil refinery near the city of Omsk.[1] This refinery first started operations in 1955, and began processing gasoline by 1959.[2]
By the mid 1970s, the refinery processed an estimated 24 million tons of oil products, the highest in the entire country.
In 1995, the refinery became a part of Sibneft, which was renamed to "Gazprom" in 2006.
Industry
The refinery produced over 50 different types of oil products, including gasoline, jet fuel, bitumen, and natural gas.[3] Their products generally follow European emission standards.[4]
