Tuapse Refinery
Tuapse refinery in the Krasnodar region has been part of Rosneft since the Company’s establishment, and is the oldest Rosneft’s refinery (commissioned in 1929). The plant has the most favorable location among Rosneft’s refineries, and is also the only Russian refinery on the Black Sea coast. The plant’s crude distillation capacity amounts to 5.0 mln tonnes (36.6 mln barrels) per year. The refinery processes crude oil from Western Siberia, which is delivered via the Transneft pipeline system, as well as crude oil produced by Rosneft in Southern Russia and delivered via the Transneft pipeline system and by rail. The plant specializes in the production of motor fuel.
Proximity to Rosneft’s Tuapse oil loading terminal enables the plant to export approximately 90% of petroleum products it produces. The remainder is sold domestically by the Company’s marketing subsidiaries and through Rosneft’s filling station network.
Crude inputs at the Tuapse refinery were 5.21 mln tonnes (38.1mln barrels) in 2009, which is equal to the 2008 level. Refining capacities were fully loaded and output of petroleum products was 5.09 mln tonnes. Refining depth in 2009 was 55.3%, unchanged from 2008.

Refinery Expansion and Upgrade
Rosneft is currently implementing a comprehensive expansion and upgrade program at Tuapse Refinery, which is primarily aimed at:
- increasing refining capacity to 12 mln tonnes (88 mln barrels)
- increasing refining depth to 95%
- launching production of high-quality Euro-4 and Euro-5 products
- implementing process control and management systems meeting modern industrial safety and environmental standards
- establishing mechanisms to adjust the volume and quality of petroleum products in accordance with market trends and seasonal fluctuations in demand
The project consists of two stages (two schedules for commissioning of new equipment).
Building permission was obtained and work began in 2009 on first-stage facilities (desalination and atmospheric-vacuum distillation unit No.12 with a section for hydrotreatment of naphtha, and general refinery installations).
Design work for the main second-stage projects was also carried out in 2009, including: units for hydrocracking of vacuum gasoil and heavy coking gasoil mixtures; hydrotreatment units for diesel fuel; hydrogen, isomerisation and naphtha hydrotreatment units; catalytic reforming units; and equipment for production of sulphur.
