Please accept my sincere congratulations on the Day of Oil and Gas Industry Workers!

In this anniversary year for the company, the professional day is even more solemn and proud for us. Fifty-five years ago the Kirishi Oil Refinery started its operation which served as a powerful impetus for the development of the Kirishi land. And today oil refining has become a solid foundation of the region's economy.

There are no weekends and holidays in our job. This is a strenuous daily work that requires deep knowledge and full dedication. We can rightfully be proud of professional traditions and refinery dynasties, industry veterans who have laid the foundations of production and successful work for many years. Today their work is worthily continued by our youth with whom we associate the future of KINEF its further development and prosperity.

We are confident about the future, we have every reason for this – a modern material and technical base, high intellectual potential, and the most important a large well-coordinated team that can solve the most complex and responsible tasks.

I congratulate everyone who carries out a hard work shift from year to year making real big challenges into real deeds. I wish you good health, energy, well-being and move on! Happy Day!

LLC "KINEF" General Director
