The Omsk oil refinery, Russia’s largest by production volumes, increased crude processing by 4% year-on-year in the January to September period thanks to a modernisation of its facilities, energy giant Gazprom GAZP.MM said.

The oil refinery, which is controlled by Gazprom’s oil arm Gazprom Neft SIBM.MM, also said in its statement late on Thursday that it boosted domestic supply of gasoline by 5% and of diesel by 10% in the period. It did not provide volumes.

The plant, located around 2,700 km (1,700 miles) east of Moscow, processed 21.28 million tons or 425,600 barrels per day of oil in 2023, accounting for almost 8% of Russia’s total oil refining.

It underwent some repairs during the year.
