Divisions

Refining and Petrochemicals

Rompetrol Rafinare (Petromidia)

Petromidia is the biggest refinery in Romania and one of the most efficient medium-sized refineries in South-Eastern Europe, accounting for more than 40% of the actual refining capacity of Romania. It has a Nelson complexity index of 10.5, following a large investment program of USD 380 million that began in 2006 and ended in 2012. Petromidia is the only one located by the Black Sea shore, supplied directly through the Midia Marine Terminal, located 8,6 km in Midia Port. Petromidia is also the first Romanian refinery to successfully align to European environmental regulations and fuel standards. Rompetrol Rafinare reached a historical record in 2014 in terms of the volume of processed feedstock, of over 5 million tons. Since its foundation, in 1979, Petromidia refinery has processed 100 million tons of feedstock. Historical records reached by the company in 2014 include the volume of diesel produced - 2.46 million tons, while Yields reached 48.8% for diesel and 85.7% for white products. The processing cost was lowered to 21.2 USD/ton. Rompetrol Rafinare exports reached over 2 billion USD in 2014 (1.7 billion USD in 2013,1.7 billion USD in 2012), ranking first among the country’s largest petroleum products exporters and second at national level. The company continued to be an important contributor to the Romanian state budget, paying over 1.8 billion USD by the end of the year, 28% more than in 2013 (1.4 billion USD). The overall value of investments in Petromidia platform reached 1.4 billion USD between 2007 (when the first 75% stake was acquired by KazMunayGas) and 2014.

Rompetrol Rafinare (Vega)

With 100 years experience in the field of crude oil refining, Vega Refinery is also operated by Rompetrol Rafinare, having evolved from a classical refinery to a producer and provider of special products and solutions: ecologic solvents, heating fuels, special purpose bitumen etc. Vega refinery processed over 300 thousand tons of feedstock in 2014, an increase by 28% compared to the previous year (over 240 thousand tons). Vega refinery is a producer and provider of special products and the only Romanian producer of naphtha and n-hexane in central and Eastern Europe.

Petrochemical Division

The Petrochemical Division of Rompetrol Rafinare is the only producer of polymers in Romania, polypropylene and polyethylene of low and high density. The quality and diversity of the products, the position of distribution/delivery routes, the technical assistance, made the Petrochemical Division of Rompetrol Rafinare a trustful partner in Romania and in the Black Sea region. The production capacity of the company exceeds 200,000 tons per year. It also operates a marine terminal for ethylene discharge and a cryogenic tank with a storage capacity of 10,000 tons. The integration of the petrochemical operations within Rompetrol Rafinare started at the beginning of 2014. The reason of integrating petrochemical activity within Rompetrol Rafinare was the optimization of the entire technological process and the concentration of all operations in a single company, simplifying the organizational structure.

Supply Chain Management and Trading

KMG Trading

KMG Trading AG (formerly Vector Energy) is specialized in crude supply and products sales within KMG International. KMG Trading AG is in charge of selling crude oil and oil products but also of developing the logistics required by KazMunayGas for its own needs and for the development of commercial operations and access to new markets. It also manages the product stocks in the refining and retail divisions and is in charge of streamlining the fuel sales operations to the Group’s subsidiaries (Bulgaria, Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine), as well as for the non-Group companies in the Black Sea region. In Romania, the trading activity is efficiently handled by Midia Marine Terminal and Byron Shipping.

Byron Shipping

Byron Shipping is a transport agency for maritime and river ships, undergoing its activity both in Midia and Constanta Ports and providing significant support for the trading activities of the Group for over 7 years.

It operates the maritime terminal of the Group and also its berths no 1-4 (for oil transit) and no 9-9A, 9B and 9C (for products transit) in the Midia port. The off shore terminal is one of the most important projects for the development of the trading activity. Built in 2008, 8.6 km out in the Black Sea, the terminal has a capacity of 24 million tons/year and it receives vessels up to 160,000 tons deadweight. It is linked to the refinery tank farm with a storage capacity approximately 500,000 cubic meters. The main benefits consist in providing a shorter transit route of about 33 kilometers than through Constanta port, thus providing significant cost reductions.

Rompetrol Turkey is a subsidiary of KMG International established in 2011 with the goal of expanding operations into new markets with high potential. The activity of the subsidiary consists firstly in developing trading and wholesale operations.

Retail

Retail is one of the KMG International core activities, adding value to the refining and trading activities. In Europe, the group’s distribution network consists of more than 1000 points of sale distributed across 6 countries, each operated by separate commercial entities: Romania (Rompetrol Downstream, Rompetrol Gas), Republic of Moldova (Rompetrol Moldova), Bulgaria (Rompetrol Bulgaria), Georgia (Rompetrol Georgia). The group increased its distribution chain from 54 to 1000 points in 6 countries over the past decade and rebranded existing stations to a new concept that sets a new quality for the Rompetrol brand.

Rompetrol Downstream (Romania)

The Romanian retail segment is handled by Rompetrol Downstream (gasoline and diesel) and Rompetrol Gas (LPG). In Romania, the company operates over 740 fuel distribution stations namely own filling stations, Rompetrol Partner stations, Expres mobile stations and 9 and 20 m3 Fill&Go Fixed Units. The company launched in 2013 a new concept of gas stations, characterized by changing components of visual identity (Rompetrol logo), by a distinct ambient, which includes a modern architecture and a reorganization of the interior space, quality of materials and high-end details. In 2014 the company rebranded 90 stations and the process will be completed in 2015. Rompetrol Downstream has always developed specific products able to meet the proximity-related needs, therefore the local distribution infrastructure enlarged rapidly. It established partnerships with a series of independent filling stations all over the country developing Rompetrol Partner network. Due to the investment in retail visual identity branding and installations, these filling stations are now equipped with modern devices and pumps according to the group’s standards, and only deliver fuel produced by the Petromidia Refinery. To cover rural areas, the company started to install Expres mobile stations and then developed the Fill&Go Fixed Unit concept, tanks of 9 cm and 20 cm installed on the premises of car-fleet owning companies. As for the services, Rompetrol Downstream launched Fill&Go, the first on-site identification card, with monthly payment, offered exclusively by KMG International. Rompetrol Downstream also coordinates the activity of 7 warehouses located strategically in Arad, Craiova, Mogoşoaia, Şimleul Silvaniei, Vatra Dornei, Onesti and Zărneşti, ensuring the fuel distribution flow nationwide. Today, the Group’s local and European consolidation and development strategy is supported by the exclusive production of Euro 5 fuels in the Petromidia Refinery, together with the fuel distribution logistic facilities.
