About Company:

The oil refining enterprise
As with many other Siberian plants, Achinsk Refinery is relatively new. The plant construction began in 1972, and ten years later, the first petroleum products were produced. In 1993, a comprehensive plant modernization program was launched, which allowed significantly increasing crude throughput as well as diversifying the product mix and improving its quality.
Achinsk Refinery operates a number of mature fields with watercut of more than 80%, as well as new fields that are currently at an early development stage.

Achinsk Refinery?s fields have access to all necessary transport infrastructure. Oil from Achinsk Refinery fields is delivered from Rosneft, which are located fairly close by, through a trunk pipeline owned by Transneft.
