The Rompetrol Group N.V.

Rompetrol, also known as The Rompetrol Group N.V., is a downstream petroleum company that refines crude oil and markets a range of refined products. Its core offerings include gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, lubricants, bitumen and various petrochemical compounds. The company supplies these products to retail customers through its Fill&Go service station network, to wholesale clients such as industries and transporters, and to specialized sectors like aviation and marine. Rompetrol’s operations are centered in the Black Sea region, with processing facilities located in Romania and distribution channels extending to neighboring countries.

Rompetrol operates two major refineries, the Petromidia facility on the Black Sea coast and the Vega refinery near Ploiești, which together give it one of the largest refining capacities in Romania. Its retail footprint comprises hundreds of Fill&Go stations that sell fuels, convenience items and loyalty services across Romania, Moldova and Bulgaria. The firm is recognized for its integrated downstream model, linking crude processing to end‑user sales, which allows it to manage product quality and supply chain reliability. In March 2022 Rompetrol suffered a ransomware attack by the Hive group that disabled its corporate websites and the Fill&Go payment platform, although gas stations continued to function using alternative payment methods and email systems remained operational. The incident highlighted the company’s reliance on IT infrastructure for commercial services while demonstrating the resilience of its physical fuel distribution network.

The Rompetrol Group N.V. is registered in the United States of America, as indicated by its headquarters location. It is a subsidiary of KMG International N.V., which in turn is owned by KazMunayGas, the national oil company of Kazakhstan. This ownership structure places Rompetrol within a larger Eurasian energy group that links Central Asian upstream resources to European downstream markets. The company’s governance and reporting follow the standards applicable to multinational enterprises operating in the European Union and associated markets.
