A fire broke out at the Antipinsky Oil Refinery in Tyumen, Russia. About 200 people in the refinery were evacuated by the officials. 86 personnel of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations and nearly 30 fire extinguishers were dispatched to the refinery. The fire was extinguished after 2 hours of efforts.

Antipinsky Oil Refinery, operating as Russia’s largest private enterprise, has an annual oil production capacity of 7,5 million tons, and pumps 2.3 million tons of oil into oil pipelines annually. Antipinsky Oil Refinery was ranked 43rd among the 200 most powerful companies in Russia by Forbes in 2016. After the Russian court’s decision of bankruptcy regarding the company named Novy Stream, to which the refinery is affiliated, the refinery was taken over by Russian Sberbank and later bought by a company called Rusinvest with a tender.
