LUKOIL started to operate in Kaliningrad Region in 1995 after it had purchased the assets of the OJSC Kaliningradneftegaz.
LUKOIL extracts oil and gas in Kaliningrad Region and on the Baltic Sea shelf. The largest offshore deposit in the Baltic Sea was discovered in 1983 in area D-6, in the waters 22 km to the west off the Curonian Spit. The field has been in development since 2004. Many years' experience of Kaliningrad oilers has proven that oil and gas could be produced in harmony with nature and the society by using a professional approach to ecology and social policy.
Besides, there is a network of filling stations and a complex oil terminal to transport oil and petroleum products.

There is a ice-resistant offshore stationary D-6 oil platform in the Baltic Sea — the first offshore oil platform built in Russia by LUKOIL.
The Commissioning Act for OIRP D-6 in the Baltic Sea was signed by the State Commission.
Production drilling began at the D-6 field.
First oil produced at Kravtsovkoye field in the Baltic Sea.
An international maneuver was organized at the C-9 facility, a former wildcat well that remained in the sea since 1976 from the exploration activities of the joint Soviet-Polish-German Petrobaltic project. The organizers designed the maneuver to drill a situation in which the platform is seized by terrorists, people are held hostage and the rig is blown up which is followed by fire and oil spillage. Together international forces of rescuers, military and firemen capture the terrorists, save the hostages, and mitigate the consequences of oil spillage at sea. More than a thousand people took part in the drill representing NATO and EAPC (firemen and rescuers from Poland and Lithuania), and the EMERCOM of Russia.

While implementing the project aimed at developing the Kravtsovskoye field infrastructure, LUKOIL was the first Russian company to use the "zero discharge" principle which completely prevents any waste (industrial or domestic) from being discharged into the Baltic Sea when operating the drilling platform and transporting oil.
The "zero discharge" principle was reviewed by the Helsinki Commission in 2007 and recommended for use at all existing, planned and constructed platforms in the Baltic Sea.
Since 2003 LUKOIL conducts annual environmental monitoring of the Kravtsovskoye field including:
satellite monitoring;
naval monitoring;
comprehensive use of long-term bottom and buoy technologies;
monitoring of the littoral and coastal zones;
use of stochastic models of assessment of environmental safety and damages to the environment;
notification of stakeholders of the results.
