Ensuring Industrial Safety at Oloreso Petroleum
Industrial safety at Oloreso Petroleum is crucial for protecting individuals, legal entities, and the environment from the risks associated with hazardous production processes. As a hazardous manufacturing facility, Oloreso Petroleum ensures safety through professional evaluations and declarations of its plant’s safety standards.

All EIA projects undergo state environmental expertise and are made publicly accessible on the company’s website and an official environmental portal throughout the project lifecycle.
Dedicated to minimizing its environmental footprint, Oloreso Petroleum adheres to stringent international environmental regulations and is actively reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In 2022, the company set ambitious environmental goals, including a strong focus on GHG reduction measures and becoming a participant in the CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project), a critical platform for disclosing environmental impact and risk management.
