gas stations

Lukoil Romania might expand its gas station network with 50 new units, once new highways are built, said Thursday Constantin Tampiza, development strategy coordinator at Russian oil group’s local unit.

Romania’s second-largest oil group Rompetrol, owned by Kazakhstan's KazMunayGaz, opened two gas stations Tuesday, one on each lane of the highway connecting capital city Bucharest to the southeastern town of Cernavoda, at kilometer 88+300, said the public roads authority CNADNR.

Romania’s largest oil company Petrom (SNP.RO) opened mid-September two gas stations, one on each lane of the A2 highway connecting capital city Bucharest to the southeastern town of Cernavoda, following a EUR2.7 million investment, the company said Monday.

Romanian Road Company CNADNR sent the contracts on building gas stations on Bucharest-Cernavoda highway to oil companies OMV, Rompetrol and Petrom, and mobile gas stations will be operational in maximum 30 days, the company’s officials said Tuesday.
