The conference, which takes place from May 22nd to 23rd in Moscow, Russia, will gather participants with the latest global and regional trends affecting the basic oil and lubricants industry in Russia and the CIS.
“Over the past two years, the lubricating oil market in Russia has grown by about two percent and it is expected to continue growing in 2019, while the quality improves,” says the managing director of Legion Oil & Gas LLC, Denis Varaksin. “Russia and CIS are a main sourcing market for Legion Oil & Gas LLC. As we have recently started importing some high-quality materials such as viscosity modifiers into Russia, the ex-USSR market has become even important for us.”
Conference contributors will discuss how the new IMO 2020 emission standards will affect the quality, price, and manufacturing of petroleum products, possible successful strategies for lubricant manufacturers under conditions of increasing competition, and how to meet customer requirements during the transition for Group II and III base oils in Russia. Key market players Rosneft, Gazprom neft, and LUKOIL will discuss the implementation of import substitution programs for base oils and the development of their own production facilities. Major blenders and base oils producers plan to share their latest achievements, plans, and new technologies such as modern catalysts, dewaxing additives, fluids to improve viscosity index in various base oil groups, and the Oil Conditioning Monitoring program.
The participants will include delegates from Fuchs, Total Vostok, Nizhnekamskneftekhim, Arlanxeo, Exxonmobil, and Shell, as well as Belarus, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan industry champions.
Legion Oil & Gas LLC is an international oil trading company specialized in base oils, lubricants, additives, and slack wax supply. The company is supplying base oils from Russia, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Europe in flexi-tanks, trucks, and bulk.
