Rompetrol Well Services : KMG International and Rompetrol celebrate the National Day of Romania

KMG International and Rompetrol celebrate the National Day of Romania through a series of actions promoting the Romanian national values endorsed by the Group's actions developed in the oil industry.

By developing its main operational services, of refining, marine transportation of oil products, and of fuel distribution, KMG International represents a genuine growth driver for Romania, regardless if we refer to its employees' activity, or to their know-how transferred abroad, or to the major economic and social impact our operations have. On the occasion of the National Day of Romania, we mark once again the success of our Romanian - Kazakh partnership by successfully promoting international and national values' said the Prime Vice President of KMG International, Catalin Dumitru.

The office buildings of the two refineries held by KMG International, Petromidia - the largest and the most modern facility in the country - and Vega -the longest working unit of its kind in Romania - were decorated with the Romanian flag. The three colour flag of Romania was anchored on a surface of 60m length and 16m width on the main office building of Rompetrol Rafinare in Navodari, which operates the two refineries. In addition, the national flag covers a surface of 14m in length and 6m in width of the office building surface of the Vega Refinery (see photo).
