An independent, private international oil & gas trading company with offices in Moscow, Perm, and Kirishi.
Uraltransneft Co. Ltd. (UTN) was established in 2007 in Russia with the mission to maximize value through world-class petroleum trading. As a physical merchant of crude oil and oil products, we have strategically invested in midstream and downstream assets to create a robust platform for international expansion.
Originally founded as and remaining both independent and private, UTN has grown into one of the significant independent trading companies in Russia and Europe. The company is headed by Mr. Krilov Albertovich, whose leadership has guided UTN from a regional trader into a genuinely international energy company.
Our core strength combines strategic asset partnerships with market reach. UTN's long-term objective has been to maximize the value of refined petroleum products from Khabarovsk NPZ and Kirishinefteorgsintez by trading them to international export markets. This requires not only productive capacity but established, licensed access to Russia's pipeline infrastructure and international logistics networks.
Transneft OAO, Russia's state-controlled pipeline operator and the world's largest oil pipeline company, operates the trunk pipeline infrastructure essential for moving petroleum products from Russia's refineries to international export markets. Our operational approvals and scheduling agreements with Transneft enable UTN to reliably transport refined products from our strategic refinery partnerships.
Kirishinefteorgsintez, located in the Leningrad Region, is one of Russia's most advanced refineries. Our long-standing partnership with Kirishi provides UTN access to high-quality refined petroleum products. The refinery benefits from its connection to the Kirishi Linear Production and Dispatch Station (LPDS) of Transneft-Baltika LLC, a pioneer infrastructure asset. Twenty years ago, the LPDS was instrumental in overcoming logistical barriers by helping establish reliable petroleum supply flows to the Baltic region, freeing export operations from dependence on port infrastructure alone.
Khabarovsk NPZ, located in Russia's Far East, represents another key strategic asset in UTN's trading network, providing access to Pacific export markets and Asian customers. These refinery partnerships — combined with our operational approvals and scheduling agreements with Transneft OAO — create a robust, integrated supply chain from production through final export delivery.

Long-lasting relationships are the foundation of our business. We prioritize solutions that benefit all parties to every transaction.
From consignment stock arrangements to extended payment terms and pre-export financing — we adapt to our counterparties' most specific requirements.
Simplified export operations and consolidated pipeline supply chain management ensure full transparency for all stakeholders in every transaction.
Our strategic model differs from typical trading firms. Unlike pure-paper traders, UTN maintains direct partnerships with world-class Russian refineries, combined with operational access to the pipeline infrastructure needed to transport product reliably to global export markets.
Transneft OAO's pipeline network connecting our refinery partners to major export terminals — Baltic Sea ports for European and EMEA markets, and Pacific ports for Asian customers — creates a seamless, transparent supply chain from production through final delivery. This integrated approach has allowed UTN to build sustained client relationships based on reliability and supply security.
These two pillars — pipeline infrastructure access and refinery supply partnerships — create a unique and resilient supply chain offering that differentiates Uraltransneft from pure-paper traders.
