According to the report of the Gazprom Neft, the company has begun construction of a hydroisodewaxing complex at its Omsk lubricants plant.
This complex will produce base oils for high-tech synthetic lubricants used on modern automotive equipment and industrial machinery, allowing the company to free itself completely from using imported base oils in producing premium product lines.
The facility has a design capacity of 220,000 tonnes per year. Gazprom Neft’s investment in this project stands at more than RUB 32 billion.
The new complex will further expand the premium G-Energy- and Gazpromneft synthetic lubricants product ranges, expected to increase Gazprom Neft’s market share in packaged lubricants on the Russian market to 25%.
The hydroisodewaxing complex has been designed around cutting-edge technological and environmentally-friendly solutions. Equipment for the future facility is being produced by leading Russian enterprises Volgogradneftemash and Uralhimmash.
Gazpromneft-Lubricants is a subsidiary of Gazprom Neft, specialising in the production and sale of oils, lubricants and service fluids. Established in 2007, Gazpromneft-Lubricants has 6 production facilities in Russia, Italy and Serbia.
