The transaction was completed after obtaining all the necessary approvals from antimonopoly and regulatory authorities. The purchase of SANORS group of companies is in line with Rosneft Long-term Development Strategy and implies a profound integration of Rosneft oil and gas production and refining assets with existing SANORS Holding petrochemical production facilities. The synergistic effect of the integration will help to strengthen the vector of petrochemical development and increase the added value of production.

This transaction will allow Rosneft to develop its own line of import substitution as well as meeting growing domestic demand for key polymers and other chemical products, viable commercially in the Russian market regarding their quality and technological characteristics. The integration of the SANORS holding in the perimeter of Rosneft will have a stimulating effect on the economy of the Novokuibyshevsk and Samara region as a whole.
