Retail Network

Rosneft had retail business in 39 regions of Russia in 2009, from Murmansk in the north to the North Caucasus in the south, and from Bryansk in the west to Sakhalin Island in the east. The Company added Chita Region to the geography of its domestic retail business in 2009, selling 3,000 tonnes of petroleum products there via retail outlets. Rosneft sells motor gasoline, diesel fuel and lubricants through its retail network.

As of December 31, 2009, Rosneft marketing subsidiaries owned 148 operating tank farms with a total capacity of 2.9 mln cubic meters. The Company’s network of operating filling stations consisted of 1,690 stations in ownership or leased, and 72 stations operating under the Rosneft brand on the basis of franchising agreements. Owned and leased service stations had 122 car washes, 878 shops and 91 cafes. There were small-scale vehicle repair and servicing facilities at 113 of the service stations.

Due to the fall in domestic demand, Company sales of petroleum products through the retail network decreased in 2009 compared with 2008 to 3.67 mln tonnes. Rosneft continued intensive work on optimization of its retail business, withdrawing inefficient filling stations and tank farms, acquiring and building stations with high efficiency, as well as carrying out upgrading and rebranding of existing outlets. The Company sold, closed or mothballed 34 stations in the course of the year, while 25 new stations were built and 83 were refurbished. By the end of the year 695 filling stations had been altered to match the new Rosneft corporate standard. Average daily sales per filling station were 8.0 tonnes in 2009, down only by 0.1 tonnes compared with 2008.

In the future Rosneft plans further expansion of its service station network in regions adjacent to Company refineries, particularly in Siberia and the Far East, as well as in promising markets in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and the Southern Federal District.

In 2009 the Company became a General Partner of the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, and began work to design a main-road filling station network in Olympic format, incorporating the Olympic insignia. ‘Olympic’ filling stations will offer an extended range of services. The precise range and volume of services will depend on specific needs at each filling station.

The Olympic filling-station project will be implemented in 2010–2013. The stations will be located along main road arteries leading to Sochi, and also in Sochi itself. The Olympic network will extend from Leningrad and Smolensk regions via Tver, Moscow, Tula, Voronezh, Lipetsk and Rostov regions to Krasnodar Territory. In addition to classic filling stations, floating stations and stations for refueling of snowcats will be built.
