History
Soviet period
In October 1960, the oil refinery opened in the city of Ryazan, and became the industrial core in the area around the city.[1]
In August 1974, the Supreme Soviet awarded workers of the plant with honorary medals for their work.[2]
Post-Soviet period
In 1993, the plant became privatized, and became a joint-stock company in 2002. From 2003 to 2013, the plant was a part of TNK-BP, and was modernized.[3] Since 2013, the plant has been controlled by the state-owned Rosneft.[4]
In March and May 2024, during the Russo-Ukrainian War, the refinery was hit twice by drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.[5][6] In January 2025, the refinery was once again hit by drones from the Armed Forces of Ukraine.[7][8] Following another attack in late February 2025, all operations were suspended due to damage to the main crude distillation unit.[9] On 5 September 2025 Ukrainian drones again struck and caused fires at the refinery.[10] On December 6, the Ukrainian military reported its 9th successful strike on the refinery during 2025.[11]
Production
In the year 2016, the processing volume at the plant was at 15.35 million tons per year (approximately 309,000 barrels per day), slightly down from 16 million in 2015.[12] In 2024, the plant processed about 5% of Russia's refinery output; it converted 13 million tons of crude oil into 2.2 million tons of gasoline, 3.4 million tons of diesel, 4.3 million tons of fuel oil and 1 million of jet fuel.[7]
