The first task the Company faced was participation in the design and construction of the household gas supply system to Leningrad city. It took the Company and other design and construction bodies no more than three years to put on the 1st section of box-type heaters in the Kohtla-Yarve town Plant and main Kohtla-Yarve – Leningrad gas line - the 1st long distance shale gas line in the world - in October 1948. Shale Gas Plant in Slansy town was commissioned in 1952 upon Lengiproneftechim’s design. The Company designed a Gas Producer Plant provided with 36 shaft-type gas producers, three box heater sections, household gas treatment units and numerous off-plot facilities for this Plant. Participation in construction and development of the shale production plants showed that the Company engineers were able to deal with complex tasks at a very high engineering level. Eventually the Decree of the USSR Council of Ministers dd. September 29, 1951 stated that “Lengiprogaz” was unbundled from “Giprogaztoprom” into a separate company and made it equal to the 1st group enterprises that were directly subordinate to the Ministry of Oil Industry. At the end of 1940s – beginning of 1950s "Lengiprogaz" service profile changed immensely. The Company started designing oil refineries: entire plants and separate process units. By the mid-50s the company acquired the leading position in the field of HC recovery from the catalytic reformer products. The 1st in the USSR Platinum Catalyst Reformer was built in Krasnodar Refinery in 1954 on the basis of "Lengiprogaz" design. Between 1960s and 1970s the Company initiated and launched a number of big projects for integrated oil processing units, such as LK-6U (Motor Oil Production Complex). Eight 6-8 MTA capacity integrated systems of LK-6U type were built and are still operated in RF, CIS and Baltics. There used to be a strong demand for petroleum products in the Northwest area at that time requiring a new Refinery to be built there. It was decided to choose Kirishi town as a new construction site among all possible locations. The construction began in 1960. The Refinery design envisaged the Refinery products to be conforming to all worldwide standards. Kirishi Refinery showed the best performance rates among the 2nd generation refineries built in the period between 1955 and 1970. "Lengiprogaz" contributed a lot into construction and development of Kirishi Refinery and it was acknowledged by a number of government awards, medals of All-Soviet Union Exhibition of Economic Achievements, honorary diplomas and letters of rewards from the USSR Council of Ministers and State Committee for Construction, Architectural and Housing Police (Gosstroy). It took the Company less tan 20 years to enter the international market. "Lengiprogaz" engineers designed quite a number of process units in Bulgaria, Hungary, DPRK, India, Ethiopia, Turkey, Yugoslavia, Cuba, etc. The Units built and put into operation between 1964 and 1987 have been successfully run so far. The design of the “eldest child” of oil refining industry in Belorussia – Polotsk (later named Novopolotsk) Refinery - started in 1964. In 1974”Lengiprogaz” was renamed “Leningrad State Design Institute for Oil Refining and Petrochemical Enterprises” - “Lengiproneftechim”. The 1st integrated motor oil production unit LK-6U in Mozyr Refinery was commissioned in early August, 1975. LK-6U systems were put in operation in Kremenchug, Pavlodar and Mozyr (the 2nd unit) Refineries in 1978. Two LK-6U units were built in Mazeikiu Refinery (in 1980 and 1983) and Chimkent Refinery (in 1985). "Lengiproneftechim" still continues their design work for Kirishi Refinery. LAB/LABS (feed for production of biodegradable detergents) complex based on the licensed UOP process of paraffins dehydrogenation followed by benzene alkylation (handled by “Panador”) was being designed since 1989. This production complex was commissioned in 1996. In February 2005 the Company was affiliated by the Oil Company PJSC “Surgutneftegaz” and became a Limited Liability Company abbreviated by LLC “Lengiproneftechim”.
