Gazprom Neft's Moscow and Omsk Refineries, together, processed 32.24 million tonnes of crude in this reporting period - 8.3% more than in 2020.

The company's Omsk Refinery began producing JET A-1 fuel for international flights in 2021, with production reaching 35,300 tonnes by the end of the year. The Moscow Refinery began producing environmentally friendly marine fuel, with a sulphur content of less than 0.5%. As at the Omsk Refinery, production of this fuel is being undertaken under a unique formulation, proprietary to Gazprom Neft, meeting all international requirements under MARPOL-2020.
