Gazprom Neft boosts synthetic base oils production in 9M 2024
The base produced at the facility enables creating all types of engine, gearbox and industrial oils with high performance characteristics, including low pour point, high viscosity index and resistance to oxidation.
Gazprom Neft managed to increase threefold its output of base components of synthetic oils for a wide range of automotive and commercial equipment after the launch of its hydrotreatment and isodeparaffination (HIDP) unit at the Omsk Lubricants Plant, the Russian oil major reports.
The unit also enabled the company to progress to the full production cycle of modern motor vehicle and industrial oils with the use of the Russian component base.
"We are gradually increase the range and the output of lubricating materials to provide the domestic market with modern products. In the first instance, this will be on account of new premium synthetic oils for all types of transport, equipment, and machinery. It has become possible to ramp up this type of product owing to launching in Omsk the own production facility of synthetic components, the HIDP, with the capacity over 220,000 metric tons of base oils per year, CEO of Gazpromneft-Lubricants Anatoly Skoromets said.
The base produced at the facility enables creating all types of engine, gearbox and industrial oils with high performance characteristics, including low pour point, high viscosity index and resistance to oxidation.
The facility is currently producing the maximum number of base oils to date for the like plants across the globe - twelve types, Skoromets said. "These are high-quality lubricants with the high viscosity index and the maximum treatment degree: sulfur and nitrogen content is minimized. This enables using them in motor vehicles and industrial machinery, commercial equipment, including food and light industry, and even in cosmetics production," he noted.
