Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev visited Omsk Oblast on a working visit. Together with the region's governor Vitaly Khotsenko and the chairman of the board of PJSC Gazprom Neft Alexander Dyukov, the deputy prime minister took part in the ceremonial launch of a complex of biological treatment facilities.
"We are launching the Biosphere complex, a system of modern treatment facilities at the Omsk Oil Refinery. This largest environmental project of Gazprom Neft has been implemented as part of the Ecology national project. Investments amounted to about 30 billion rubles. Thanks to innovative technologies, the complex will effectively purify industrial wastewater, significantly reduce the use of river water and reduce the load on the city's communal infrastructure. I would like to note that Biosphere is an example of effective interaction between Russian developers and manufacturers of technology and equipment. 185 domestic companies participated in the project. This plant is one of the most powerful in Russia in its field," said Dmitry Patrushev.
The Deputy Prime Minister noted that over 135 billion rubles have been allocated for large-scale modernization of the Omsk Oil Refinery in recent years. As a result, the obligations under the federal project "Clean Air" have been almost completely fulfilled. Work in this area continues within the framework of the national project "Ecological Well-Being".
As part of his working visit, Dmitry Patrushev also held a meeting with the Governor of Omsk Region, Vitaly Khotsenko.
"Omsk Oblast is an economically strong region of Siberia. Its development traditionally relies on the industrial sector, which accounts for more than 20% of the production structure. This is oil refining with petrochemistry, mechanical engineering, including defense engineering. The transport complex is of great importance. In addition, Omsk Oblast is one of the important agricultural regions of Siberia. The Russian Government allocated more than 2 billion rubles to the region in 2025 for the development of the agro-industrial complex and rural areas. The agricultural production index in Omsk Oblast in 2024 was 117%, which is a very high figure. The region produces significant volumes of grain and oilseeds. Further strengthening of its positions is certainly associated with the activities of the Strategy for the Socioeconomic Development of Siberia, which was approved by the Russian Government. A number of projects are being implemented in Omsk Oblast within its framework, which in the medium term will create more than a thousand jobs," said Dmitry Patrushev.
The Deputy Prime Minister noted that Omsk Region is actively involved in environmental protection activities. In the previous six years, about 8 billion rubles from the federal budget were allocated for this. This work continues within the framework of the national project "Environmental Well-Being", the implementation of which began this year. Improvement of water bodies is also planned – for example, construction of a hydroelectric complex on the Irtysh has begun and cleaning of the riverbed is planned.
Dmitry Patrushev paid special attention to monitoring the fulfillment of obligations in the field of solid municipal waste management. As part of his working visit, the Deputy Prime Minister also visited the Sovetskaya landfill reclamation facility in the region.
