Antipinsky Oil Refinery CJSC is situated in the industrial area in the South East of Tyumen, near Antipino settlement.

The region is the home of the greater part of the Russian oil (72%) and natural gas (91%) reserves. However, being one of the largest oil-producing regions, the Tyumen Region has to import some 1.2 million tons of light oils from other regions including Omsk Oil Refinery (550 km from Tyumen), Ufa Oil Refinery (800 km) and Permnefteorgsintez (600 km).

That makes it logical to construct an own oil refinery within the region.

In light of the struggle with mini oil refineries producing improper fuel, construction of an advanced oil refinery comprising new technologies is an issue of high priority as it can help replenish the market with high-quality oil products.

On November 4, 2006, phase I of Antipinsky Oil Refinery CJSC construction with the estimated capacity of 400 thousand tons of processed oil per year was approved for start-up by Tyumen authorities. As at the end of 2009 the actual capacity of phase I facilities reached the point of 800 thousand tons per year thanks to re-equipment and modernization.

On April 9, 2010, Tyumen authorities authorized commissioning of phase II facilities with the estimated capacity of 2,750 thousand tons per year. As the second phase facilities are under modernization, the capacity will increase by up to 3,300 thousand tons per year before the year end. Now that phase II facilities are launched, capacity of the oil refinery is 3,500 thousand tons per year and it is going to reach the point of up to 4,1 million tons per year by the end of 2010. No production plant of the similar capacity has been launched in the Russian Federation during the past 28 years.

Specifications for connection of the oil refinery to main oil pipelines issued by Transneft JSC imply the total capacity of 6 million tons per year in view of the refinery development including the 3rd construction phase.
