Representative Products and Production Results<br />
Last year, <strong>Rompetrol</strong> Rafinare recorded a decrease of<br />
approximately 8.4% in the quantities of raw materials processed,<br />
from approximately 4.4 million tons in 2008 to approximately<br />
4.03 million tons. In <strong>2009</strong>, the rate of use of the refining capacity<br />
was of 80.66%, despite the low margins obtained from selling oil<br />
products. The yield obtained on white products was 5.58% higher<br />
than the one reached in the year 2008, following the transfer to<br />
the production of Euro 5 gasoline. The technological performance<br />
achieved by <strong>Rompetrol</strong> Rafinare represents a new step towards<br />
increasing the operational performances and profitability of the<br />
refinery, in consistency with the norms imposed by the national<br />
legislation and the European directives.<br />

The Market<br />
In <strong>2009</strong>, the efforts to optimize the trade flow of raw material<br />
purchases and finished product sales continued. The crude oil<br />
purchase transactions were carried out exclusively through the<br />
group’s trading <strong>com</strong>pany, Vector Energy, which also took over most<br />
of the gasoline and diesel volumes marketed in foreign markets. The<br />
quality of the products sold by <strong>Rompetrol</strong> was consistent with the<br />
quality and environmental standards in force in the European Union<br />
countries, which consolidated the <strong>com</strong>pany’s position and presence<br />
in the traditional benchmark oil markets. Starting with July <strong>2009</strong>,<br />
gasoline with 4% volume of biofuel has been marketed according to<br />
the requirements of Directive 2003/30 of the European Union.<br />

In <strong>2009</strong>, the weight of internal market in total finished products sold<br />
was higher (55%) than the foreign one. The <strong>Rompetrol</strong> products<br />
were present in the Romanian market in all the geographic regions<br />
through its expanded national network of gas stations. The internal<br />
market absorbed more than half of the total volume of motor fuels<br />
marketed during the entire year.<br />
