| | Gas giants will clash for the Bulgarian market for automotive fuel. They are companies from Eastern Europe and Western Asia such as the Russian Gazprom Neft and the Kazakh KazMunayGas. Both are represented in Bulgaria through subsidiary companies. Since the spring Gazprom started buying ready petrol stations in Bulgaria through its subsidiary in Serbia NIS, which are not part of any chain. Currently the Russians have several stations in the country, as they will increase the number. According to initial plans, Gazprom aims to take a 7-8% market share in Bulgaria, which means that it would take about 90 sites. KazMunayGas operates in Bulgaria for 10 years through its Romanian subsidiary Rompetrol. Currently, the chain operates in Bulgaria through its 60 stations and an oil base in Ruse. So Rompetrol holds a market share of 8% of fuel sales in the country. In recent years, the company intends to increase its presence through new sale sites. Source: Standart (28.09.2012) |
