The company today
Key lines of the company’s business are:
- Hydrocarbon exploration and production
- Gas processing and power generation
- Output and marketing of oil products, sales gas, and gas products
- Petrochemical production
OIL AND GAS PRODUCER
Oil and gas producer Surgutneftegas is one of the largest companies in the Russian oil sector. It accounts for almost 13% of the country’s crude output and 25% of gas produced by domestic oil companies.
Over many years, the company has been leading the industry in terms of exploratory and development drilling, as well as the number of production wells brought on stream.
The company was the first in Russia to develop the complete cycle of gas production and processing, gas-based power generation, and output of finished products and petrochemical feedstock. Fifty-nine divisions of the company are involved in the whole range of prospecting and reservoir management operations, construction of facilities and pipelines, environmental safety, and process automation. Surgutneftegas’ crucial competitive advantage lies in advanced petroleum production technology successfully applied by its own service subdivisions. Oil is supplied to Russian refineries and exported to CIS and Western Europe.
REFINERY
The company’s refinery Kirishinefteorgsintez, one of the largest in Russia, accounts for almost 9% of the country’s refining throughput.
The refinery produces 58 types of petroleum products with high-quality performance and environmental characteristics, including all types of motor fuels, aromatics, liquid paraffin, roofing and insulation materials, etc. Diesel fuel, jet fuel, roofing materials and bitumens produced by the refinery meet international quality standards.
A LAB-LABs plant commissioned in 1996 produces chemicals for 95% biodegradable detergents. This feedstock is used to produce 100% of synthetic detergents in Russia and 10% in Europe.
At present, Kirishi is implementing a construction project for the Deep Oil Refining Complex, which is second to none in Russia.
Kirishinefteorgsintez has received numerous awards from the Government of the Russian Federation and prestigious international prizes for its high quality products.
MARKETING COMPANIES
Major sale markets of the company are located in north-western regions of Russia. Today, Surgutneftegas retail chain includes 5 marketing companies: Kaliningradnefteprodukt, Kirishiavtoservis, Novgorodnefteprodukt, Pskovnefteprodukt, and Tvernefteprodukt. Totally, at 2009 year-end, they operate 301 retail outlets, most of which are modern filling stations offering a wide range of services, and 28 tank farms for fuel storage.
Marketing subsidiaries owe much to their geographical position: they are located close to the company’s refinery and heavy traffic intercity and international highways going through the area of the company’s activity.
