Following the results of work for nine months of 2014, Novokuibyshev Refinery, a part of Samara group of Rosneft refineries, increased output of major oil products compared to the same period of 2013.
Throughput performance amounted to about 6.1 million tons of oil, which is 75 thousand tons more than for the previous year, and 4.1% more than the target figures. This strong performance was possible due to the systematic optimization of the technical process within the specified plant capacity, and as a result of implemented modernization program at Novokuibyshev Refinery.
