Rompetrol

What Rompetrol does

Rompetrol is a vertically integrated downstream energy company operating across the petroleum value chain: crude oil trading and supply, refining, petrochemicals, retail fuel distribution, and energy production. It owns and operates two refineries in Romania — Petromidia Năvodari, the country's largest refinery representing nearly 50% of national refining capacity with projected 2025 throughput of 5.88 million tons, and Vega Ploiești, the sole domestic producer of bitumen, normal hexane, and eco-friendly solvents and Romania's only polymer manufacturer through its petrochemicals division. The group is controlled by Kazakhstan's state-owned KazMunayGas via KMG International N.V. (Amsterdam), with the Romanian state retaining a minority stake (44.7%) in Rompetrol Rafinare through the Ministry of Energy.

Revenue is generated through five streams: refining and petrochemicals (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, polymers sold to domestic and export markets), retail fuel sales through more than 1,200 points of sale in Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, and Georgia (including the hei convenience sub-brand), industrial services (EPC through Rominserv, well services, laboratory testing via Rompetrol Quality Control), international crude oil and petroleum products trading, and electricity/steam production from the newly commissioned Petromidia cogeneration plant. Go-to-market is hybrid: B2C via the owned and partner station network with loyalty programs and fuel cards, and B2B via direct sales of industrial products and EPC/laboratory services. Crude oil is sourced primarily from Kazakhstan (>60% of Petromidia feedstock) via the Midia Marine Terminal Single Point Mooring offshore system, with additional sourcing from Azerbaijan, Libya, and Guyana.

Rompetrol Rafinare reported gross revenue of $4.44 billion for the first nine months of 2025 with a negative net result of ($20.6 million) attributable to international price volatility and fiscal framework effects. The company employs approximately 6,000 people across 11 countries, maintains a 99.37% Petromidia capacity utilization (Q3 2025), an 87.1% white product yield, and contributed over $1.4 billion to the Romanian state budget during January–September 2025.
