1

Orsknefteorgsintez 

Orsk oil refinery named after V. P. Chkalov (located in the East of the Orenburg region, on the border with Northern Kazakhstan). Orsk oil refinery is a subsidiary of Forteinevst

Orsk oil refinery is the only one in the Orenburg Region with a design capacity of 6 million tons of oil per year.

Orsk oil refinery produces and ships more than 30 types of in-demand products for domestic and foreign markets.

Orsk refinery produces automobile gasoline, diesel fuel, and Jet fuel - Eco Class 5, by the highest European and Russian standards..

We sell products throughout the entire territory of the Russian Federation and to many other countries. Thus, a significant portion of Orsk oil products are sold on the domestic market, completely covering the needs of the Orenburg region. One portion is traded on the St. Petersburg stock exchange, and another is exported. Orsknefteorgsintez products are popular all over the world. Oil products are delivered to neighboring countries: Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan. The major portion of oil products are delivered to foreign countries - Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey, Malta - via ports: Novorossiysk and Kavkaz; and stations: Grushevaya and Vyshesteblievskaya. Products are shipped by different logistical means.

Refinery history

The Orsk oil refinery was constructed in 1935, receiving the first oil through the new oil pipeline, Caspian-Orsk, on December 24 - this date is considered the birthday of the plant. On January 6, 1936, the plant produced its first gasoline. During the first year, the refinery processed 152.8 thousand tons of oil.

In 1939, the plant was named after the Hero of the Soviet Union Valery Pavlovich Chkalov, a test pilot, by the resolution of the USSR government

In 1942 the first oil lots were received. During the war, the refinery increased its yield by 2.5 times, expanding the range by almost five times.

Every third ton of oil for Soviet military equipment was from Orsk. The Orsk Oil Refinery received the Order of the Patriotic War, 1st class for supplying the Soviet Army and Navy during the war.

Outstanding people worked at the plant, who received honorary titles: Vitalii Sorokin - Hero of the Soviet Union, Vasilii Netessanov - Hero of Socialist Labor, Alexey Turkin - Hero of Socialist Labor.

Viktor Chernomyrdin began his career here.

Over 2300 people work for the company. 38% of employees have higher education. Orsk Refinery was commissioned in 1935; it became a part of Rusvellgrup in 2011.



In 2020, Orsknefteorgsintez celebrates its 85th anniversary since its construction!
