Dear colleagues,

It's our both pleasure and honor to introduce to you the RusChlor's newest associate member LLC “Irkutsk Oil Company”.

Limited Liability Company “Irkutsk Oil Company” hereinafter referred to as LLC “Irkutsk Oil Company” is one of the biggest independent producers of hydrocarbons in the Russian Federation. LLC “Irkutsk Oil Company” and a few affiliated legal entities make up Corporate group “INK Group” that is both engaged and directly participating in geology study, exploratory survey, exploration, and development of forty one license areas covering eighteen deposits within the following Siberian territories: Irkutsk Region, the Sakha/ Yakutiya Republic, and Krasnoyarsk Region. There is being maintained a complex of the intertwined geologic exploration activities at the objects operated by LLC “Irkutsk Oil Company” and the hydrocarbons are also being extracted there.

In conducting its core business of oil extraction LLC “Irkutsk Oil Company” consumes large quantities of both the caustic soda and hydrochloric acid. Having considered the remoteness of all the traditional suppliers of the said chemicals from the company’s production facilities, on the one hand, and availability of both the raw commodities and energy necessary for production of chlorine and caustic on the spot, the company has taken the decision to build its own chlor-alkali production facility.
