Gazprom Neft starts production of environmentally friendly oils

Gazpromneft Lubricants Ltd, operator of the Gazprom Neft lubricants business, announced that it has begun production of Gazpromneft TDAE (treated, distillate, aromatic, extracted) lubricant-plasticiser at its Omsk plant in Russia, using its own patent technology.

The investment in the project, including the modernisation of a 17,000 t/y plasticiser facility at the Omsk refinery, amounted to more than RUB 400 million (~ EUR 5.8 million).
