The main goal of the initiative is to develop and support oil & gas activities in this region, an important territory for the Russian oil industry. A significant number of powerful engineering and design institutes as well as operators are located here. The cluster itself unites over 100 companies. “Institute of Petroleum Refining and Petrochemistry of the Republic of Bashkortostan” (INHP RB) was chosen to manage and coordinate all the activities of the cluster, as well as its development, research, expertise, administration and IT.
