The Tuapse Refinery (Russian: Туапсинский нефтеперерабатывающий завод) is an oil refinery in the Russian city of Tuapse. It has belonged to the Russian state-owned company Rosneft[1] since 1992.

History

In 1929, construction of the refinery finished and it began operation. Much of the oil originated in Soviet Chechnya at the time.[citation needed]

In 1992, Russian president Boris Yeltsin decreed that the refinery would belong to the state-owned Rosneft.[citation needed]

In October 2013, a new unit at the refinery began service to expand the production capacity.[2] In 2014, six new hydrocracking units were introduced, and the products would fulfill European emission standards.[3] A similar unit was introduced in February 2015, which produces diesel fuel based on European standards.[4]

The Tuapse Refinery fire was detected by NASA‘s FIRMS on March 14, 2025 at 00:37 (UTC)

During the Russo-Ukrainian War, the Ukrainian military conducted numerous attacks on Russian targets, especially oil refineries. The Tuapse refinery was struck on January 25, 2024,[5] and again on May 17.[6] The refinery had to cease operations after the January 2024 attack.[1] On March 14, 2025 the refinery was again struck by Ukrainian drones, causing a reportedly 1,000 square meter fire[7] detected by NASA‘s FIRMS. On 2 November 2025 the Tuapse oil terminal that serves the refinery was attacked by drones and caught fire.[8][9]
