Additional recommended knowledge
HistoryLUKOIL's name is derived from the three oil companies that were merged in 1991: Langepasneftegaz, Uraineftegaz, and Kogalymneftegaz. Exploration and productionLUKOIL carries out exploration and/or production of oil and gas in Russia and (as of 2005) nine other countries: Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Colombia, Venezuela, and Saudi Arabia. In September 2004, ConocoPhillips purchased a 7.6 percent stake in LUKOIL and signed an agreement that could increase this figure in the future to up to 20 percent. [2]. The two oil companies have agreed to develop jointly an oil and gas field in the northern Timan-Pechora area of Russia (Komi Republic) and intend to secure the rights to develop the West Qurna Field in Iraq, one of the country's largest. [3] [4] Development of the Aral SeaErgash Shaismatov, the Deputy Prime Minister of Uzbekistan, announced on August 30, 2006 that the Uzbek government and an international consortium consisting of state-run Uzbekneftegaz, LUKoil Overseas, Petronas, Korea National Oil Corporation, and China National Petroleum Corporation signed a production sharing agreement to explore and develop oil and gas fields in the Aral Sea, saying, “The Aral Sea is largely unknown, but it holds a lot of promise in terms of finding oil and gas. There is risk of course but we believe in the success of this unique project." The consortium was created in September 2005.[3] Oil refining and petrochemical facilitiesLUKOIL owns seven oil-processing companies in Eastern Europe:
The company also owns several petrochemical plants in Budennovsk, Saratov and Kalush, all managed by "LUKOIL-Neftechim".
