Introduction of sibur r d centre


History

The company was founded by an act passed by the Government of the Russian Federation in March 1995, with 38% of its shares state owned. The remaining 62% of the company was made public.

Towards the end of 1998, SIBUR started its transformation into a vertically integrated petrochemical holding with a full production chain from the processing of raw materials through to the manufacture of finished goods. SIBUR subsequently built up assets by buying stakes in petrochemical companies all over Russia. As a result, some 60 companies soon belonged to the company.

By 2001, Gazprom had acquired control of SIBUR with a 51% stake. Alexander Dyukov was appointed president in February 2003 and oversaw significant reform with the introduction of a long-term growth strategy.

By September, the stock was divided between Gazprom (25%) and Gazprombank (75%). Dyukov was succeeded by Dmitry Konov as SIBUR’s new president towards the end of 2006.

2005: transfer of assets from AK Sibur to SIBUR holding

In July 2005, SIBUR founded AKS Holding (whose legal successor is today's SIBUR) to clean up the holding's debts of RUB 60 bn, with most of this amount due to the parent company. The balance sheet of AKS Holding received the shares of 26 petrochemical businesses held by SIBUR. In December 2005, AKS Holding was renamed SIBUR Holding.

Gazprom decided that the petrochemical business was a non-core asset in 2008, and SIBUR shares were sold to Gazfund in exchange for its energy assets. Both Gazprombank and Gazfund also withdrew from the Gazprom group. In December 2010 Gazprombank began a phased sale of SIBUR to a private shareholder, Leonid Mikhelson.

By the autumn of 2011, 100% of SIBUR came to be owned by the company SIBUR Limited, which since 2013 is 82.5% owned by Leonid Mikhelson and Gennady Timchenko. The owners of the remaining 17.5% include SIBUR's former and current top management.

In 2014 a firm wholly owned by Kirill Shamalov, deputy chairman of the Management Board of SIBUR, has acquired 17% in SIBUR Holding, previously beneficially owned by entities under control of Gennady Timchenko. Following this transaction, Kirill Shamalov’s ownership in SIBUR increased to 21.3%.

Following completion of this transaction, the ownership structure of SIBUR as at 5 September 2014 is as follows:

  • Leonid Mikhelson – 50.2%
  • Kirill Shamalov – 21.3%
  • Gennady Timchenko – 15.3%
  • Current and former managers of SIBUR Holding (excluding Kirill Shamalov) – 13.2%
  • Feedstock and energy

    The Group’s feedstock and energy segment comprises:

  • gathering and processing of associated petroleum gas (APG) that SIBUR purchases from major Russian oil companies,
  • transportation, fractionation and other processing of natural gas liquids (NGLs) that SIBUR produces internally or purchases from major Russian oil and gas companies, and
  • marketing and sales of energy products, such as natural gas, liquefied petroleum gases (LPG), naphtha, raw NGL, methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) and other fuels and fuel additives.
  • SIBUR’s feedstock processing infrastructure includes seven out of the nine existing GPPs in Western Siberia, five compressor stations and three GFUs. As of 31 December 2015, SIBUR had APG processing capacity of 24 billion cubic metres per annum and raw NGL fractionation capacity of 8 million tonnes per annum. SIBUR sells energy products on the Russian and international markets and uses some of them as feedstock for its petrochemicals segment, which processes them into various petrochemicals, including basic polymers, synthetic rubbers, plastics and products of organic synthesis, as well as intermediates and other chemicals.
