Kremenchuk Oil Refinery is the largest oil refinery in Ukraine. It is located in Kremenchuk, Poltava Oblast. Since 1994 it has been the main branch of PJSC Ukrtatnafta. The plant was commissioned in 1961. By 2008, the plant was supplying approximately 30% of Ukraine's petroleum market, with a design capacity for processing being 18.62 million tonnes per year, the largest in Ukraine. However, its actual production fell short of this, and in 2012 it only processed 3.091 million tonnes of oil with an employment figure of approximately 3,000 people as of September 2021. The refinery took on a greater importance following the closure of Lysychansk Oil Refinery, making it the only operational oil refinery in Ukraine. Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the refinery became a frequent target of Russian attacks, and in April 2022, it was confirmed that the refinery was "completely destroyed".
