Rosneft -  Company Facts

  1. Rosneft is a relative newcomer to the big-time.  It acquired Yubganskneftegaz in somewhat controversial circumstances after the  collapse of the Yukos group brought about by state tax demands and fines.  Rosneft is active in Western and Eastern Siberia, on Sakhalin, in the Timan-Pechora region, in Southern Russia, as well as joint ventures with several foreign firms. Rosneft is in the process of reconstructing its refining facilities to ensure that they have sufficient capacity to meet the increasing  market demand and international technological standards.

  2. Although officially a private concern, the company is virtually under state control. It key people are appointed by the government (its chairman Igor Sechin,  was appointed by the President Putin).

  3. The company will be the new force in Russian oil in future claiming to have second largest proven oil reserve (15 billion barrels) .  The company’s capitalisation is estimated at 60 billion USD.

  1. Its upstream activities span all oil producing regions of Russian and have downstream activities in the form of two oil refineries.  It has recently also entered the Chinese market.

  2. The company has steadily increased its daily production capacity in the past few years raising daily production from .05 to 1.5 million barrels per day within the past two years (due mainly to Yubgansk takeover) and is aiming to double this figure in the next 10 years. 

  1. In 2005 Rosnet was “matched” to merge with Gazprom but internal politics got in the way and the merger was  subsequently called off.
