The Tuapse Refinery (Russian: Туапсинский нефтеперерабатывающий завод) is an oil refinery plant in the Russian city of Tuapse. This refinery has belonged to the Russian state-owned company Rosneft since 1992.
History
[edit]In 1929, the refinery finished construction and began operation. Much of the oil at the time originated in Soviet Chechnya.
In 1992, Russian president Boris Yeltsin decreed that the refinery would belong to the state-owned Rosneft.
Modernization
[edit]In October 2013, a new unit at the refinery began service to expand the production capacity.[1] In 2014, 6 new hydrocracking units were introduced, and the products would fulfill European emission standards.[2] A similar unit was introduced in February 2015, which produces diesel fuel based on European standards.[3]
Russo-Ukrainian War
[edit]During the Russo-Ukrainian War, the Ukrainian military conducted numerous attacks on Russian targets, especially on oil refineries. In 2024, the Tuapse refinery was struck on January 25,[4] and then again on May 17.[5]
