SOCAR Petroleum SA opened the 100th station in its Romanian network in Galați on 30 October 2026. The company, the local subsidiary of Azerbaijan’s state-owned oil and natural gas company, has been present on the Romanian market since 2011.

According to data provided by SOCAR, investments made in Romania exceed 400 million lei, while turnover in 2025 was 4 billion lei. The network covers 32 counties and is supported by three storage depots located in Teiuș, Onești and Oil Terminal Constanța.

The new station is located at 276 Brăilei Street in Galați, covers an area of 3,200 sq m and offers four types of fuel.

Expanding its market share and geographical coverage remains a company objective. “We aim to consolidate our position on the Romanian market, increase our market share and achieve the widest possible geographical coverage,” said Ramin Aliyev, General Director of SOCAR Petroleum SA.

He states that investments in logistics infrastructure, including fuel depots in Romania, support a steady supply and continuity of deliveries to stations. The development of the local network is part of SOCAR’s international strategy, which integrates activities from refining to distribution, according to the press release.
