GAZPROM The Slavneft-YaNOS oil refinery has started commercial production of a cutting-edge gasoline with an octane number of 100. Production of this new high-octane fuel, which is fully compliant with Euro-5 environmental standards, is the result of a technological modernisation programme at the plant.
[Link]This 100-octane gasoline is designed for modern engines - the high octane number increasing engine power and boosting acceleration while reducing vibration and noise levels: a further advantage being easy engine-starting at low temperatures. The Slavneft-YaNOS 100-octane gasoline has been successfully tested at the OAO VNIPIneft Research and Design Institute for Oil Refining and the Petrochemical Industry, and will be made available in North-West Russia.
Gazprom Neft's Omsk and Moscow Refineries also produce additive-free high-performance fuels - the Omsk Refinery having succeeded in producing a 100-octane fuel following the commissioning of its automated gasoline-blending facility in 2018, and the Moscow Refinery having added its G-Drive-100 gasoline to its existing product line following the launch of its cutting-edge Euro+ refining complex in 2020.
Slavneft-YaNOS forms part of Slavneft, a Gazprom Neft-Rosneft joint venture. The company's average refining volumes stand at about 15 million tonnes per year. The plant's product range includes Euro-5-standard automotive gasoline and diesel fuels, a wide range of lubricants, bitumens, paraffin-wax products, aromatic hydrocarbons, liquid gases and fuel oil.
