Will SOCAR own new network of gas stations in Ukraine?

The Glusco filling stations network in Ukraine has resumed its work from today.

Report informs citing Ukrainian media that the reason for the network’s resumption was the change in the company’s ownership. Now, the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) owns the network.

“It is a maintenance launch to check the system. We hope that in the coming days, the new owner will fully launch the network,” a Ukrainian outlet said.

The report says that the Glusco logos are covered with black foil at the filling stations.

SOCAR told Report that it had not made such a decision yet.

SOCAR Energy Ukraine, SOCAR’s representative office in Ukraine, was opened in 2008. Currently, the company has 55 modern filling stations in 11 regions of Ukraine. Also, the SOCAR Ukraine Trading House has become one of the largest private importers of natural gas to the country.
