The Ryazan Refinery (ru|Рязанский нефтеперерабатывающий заводз) is an oil refinery plant in the Russian city of Ryazan, one of the largest in the country. This refinery has belonged to the Russian state-owned company Rosneft since 2013.
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]
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. Since 2013, the plant has been controlled by the state-owned Rosneft.[3]
