The oil refining complex of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan.
Kyrgyzstan's oil refining complex includes several enterprises. These plants play an important role in providing the domestic market with fuel, but their operation is complicated by their dependence on external raw material supplies.
Oil refining in Kyrgyzstan is an important sector of the economy, but its development is limited due to the low volume of domestic oil production and the country's dependence on external oil supplies. There are several oil refineries (ORFs) operating in the country, and projects are being implemented to modernize them.
The oil refining complex is not only a major source of energy and fuel, but also a crucial sector of the national economy that contributes to the stability of the country's socio-economic situation.
The most significant and large is the Junda Refinery in the city of Kara-Balta, but nevertheless, other oil refineries are successfully operating and developing in the Republic, such as:
Kadamzhay Refinery (K-NPP)
Kyrgyz Petroleum Company Refinery (Jalal-Abad)
Kemin Refinery (Kemin)
Jundu Oil Refinery (Kara-Balta)
Located in the eastern industrial park of the city of Kara-Balta, Chuy region. The design capacity of the plant is 800 thousand tons of petroleum products per year. The products of the plant include gasoline grades: AI-95, AI-92 and AI-80, diesel fuel (summer and winter: -20, -10, 0) and liquefied petroleum gas, and the quality meets the standards of Euro II and Euro III. A modernization project is currently being implemented to achieve Euro V (K4, K5) standards, which will allow the plant to fully meet the requirements of the Central Asian and EAEU markets.
Kadamzhay Refinery (K-NRP)
Located in Kadamzhay district of Batken region, near regional oil fields and transport routes. Refines crude oil and produces main petroleum products for domestic market (gasoline, diesel fuel, bitumen, base oils and lubricating oils). Equipped with modern industrial equipment and engineering systems. The enterprise provides integrated infrastructure for storage of crude oil and petroleum products.
Kyrgyz Petroleum Company Refinery (Jalal-Abad)
Construction of the refinery in the city of Jalal-Abad began in January 1996, and was completed within the established timeframe - in September 1996. The grand opening of the oil refinery of JSC KPC took place on October 6, 1996. It processes crude oil and produces the following main petroleum products: AI-95, AI-92, and AI-80 gasoline, diesel fuel (summer and winter: -20, -10, and 0), and fuel oil.
Kemin Oil Refinery
Kemin Oil Refinery is located in the Kemin district of the Chui region. The products of the plant include gasoline grades: AI-95, AI-92 and AI-80, diesel fuel (summer and winter: -20, -10, 0), bitumen, base oils of I and II group, bituminous mastics.
The oil refining industry in Kyrgyzstan faces several significant challenges that limit its development and increase its dependence on imported petroleum products. Kyrgyzstan's oil production is relatively low. According to estimates for 2025, the country produces around 300,000 tons of crude oil annually, which is insufficient to meet even a portion of its domestic needs. This limits the refineries' ability to process raw materials and reduces the production of petroleum products. The country relies heavily on imported petroleum products, with a significant portion of its fuel supply coming from Russia. This creates a vulnerability to fluctuations in prices and supply volumes from other countries.
The country's leadership is not turning a blind eye to these issues, and the government is successfully taking measures to address the challenges in the oil refining sector:
Modernization of oil refineries.
For example, by the end of 2025, the Junda refinery will be modernized and the production of K5 gasoline will be organized. By 2027, another refinery, the Jalal-Abad refinery, is expected to be modernized. The Kemin refinery has successfully undergone deep modernization.
Expansion of field exploration.
Kyrgyzneftegaz plans to increase production and diversify its resource base.
Search for suppliers.
Oil traders are actively searching for the necessary volumes of fuel in various countries, including Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Iran, and European and Baltic countries.
Granting additional authority to Kyrgyzneftegaz.
This is necessary for the development of regulatory and investment documents, as well as for coordinating exploration activities in other licensed areas.
Creating a legislative framework.
This will attract investors and ensure government support for the industry.
And it is safe to say that these measures are already yielding the desired results. A striking example was the production of refined petroleum products, where a 25.4% increase in production was recorded. Gasoline output increased 1.8 times. A positive trend of 17% growth can also be seen in the production of diesel fuel.
