1997 FOUNDED AS
KEROSOV

Soviet World Oil Industries began as a state restructuring project. In 1996, President Gorborev named Anatoly Novikovo as Director of the State Oil Industries Subcommittee, tasked with consolidating the fractious Soviet oil industry into a single manageable entity. With Yarno Kurgasyn as deputy, representing Kazakhstan's enormous oil fields alongside Novikovo's Siberian base, the subcommittee had the political weight to push through what no previous administration had managed.

By 1997, the result was KeroSov, the Neo-Soviet Oil Combine. It was wealthy enough almost immediately to be a threat. In 2002, security commander Sergei Kirsanov locked down every SovOil facility in the USSR on Novikovo's orders and announced the corporation's secession from the Central Committee. The government that had created the company attempted to retake its own facilities and discovered it could not do so without destroying the USSR's entire oil supply. The Central Committee had no choice but to acknowledge corporate independence.

"SovOil is the major economic force in the Neo-Soviet Union and much of Eastern Europe. The company has a guaranteed market share in these areas. That is not influence. That is infrastructure."

KeroSov became Soviet World Oil Industries. The Novikovo family took majority shareholding. In the years that followed, SovOil grew into the central pillar of the Soviet economy. The corporation's interests and the USSR's interests became, by necessity, closely aligned. No government that relies on a single energy supplier can afford to be its enemy. SovOil has always understood this. So has every administration that has dealt with it.

The Second Corporate War against Petrochem in the 2010s, a dispute over South China Sea oil territories that turned into a short, savage conflict destroying 75% of offshore platforms on both sides, was a setback, not a defeat. SovOil redirected toward Siberia. Petrochem pivoted toward CHOOH2 technology. Both corporations were wounded. Both survived. The rivalry continues.

The Novikovo family remain majority shareholders as of 2047. SovOil's Central Committee plays a longer game now, aware that oil is a finite resource and that the corporation's survival into the next century requires diversification. Mining, shipbuilding, aircraft, computing, CHOOH2 agriculture. By 2050, the board intends a product base diverse enough to make the end of petroleum irrelevant.

Corporate Timeline
// SCROLL →
1994
USSR succeeded by the Union of Sovereign Soviet Republics. Economic cooperation replaces centralised political control. The conditions for corporate independence are created.
1997
Anatoly Novikovo consolidates Soviet oil into a single entity. KeroSov, the Neo-Soviet Oil Combine, is formed. The Novikovo family take majority shareholding.
2002
Kirsanov locks down all facilities. SovOil seceeds from the Central Committee. The government cannot retake its own oil supply. KeroSov becomes Soviet World Oil Industries.
2008
Second Corporate War, SovOil vs Petrochem over South China Sea territories. 75% of offshore platforms destroyed on both sides. SovOil redirects to Siberia. The rivalry is permanent.
2020
SovOil cements position as the greatest unifying force in the USSR. The corporation manipulates the Soviet government more openly. The government is, in all practical terms, a tool of SovOil.
2045
Diversification accelerates. Mining, shipbuilding, aircraft, computing, CHOOH2 agriculture. The board's target: full independence from petroleum revenue by 2050.
Where We Work
Tens of thousands of square miles of active field. Over 150,000 workers at sea at any given time. The largest private oil operation on earth, running 24 hours a day across six time zones.
1,000+
OFFSHORE PLATFORMS
GLOBALLY OPERATIONAL
// PRIMARY FIELD // SIBERIA, USSR
Siberian Fields
SovOil's largest onshore operation. Hundreds of oil derricks rising from barren tundra, connected by thousands of kilometres of overland pipeline to sprawling tank farms and refineries across Siberia. The Second Corporate War forced a dramatic expansion here, and it paid off. Siberia now produces more than SovOil's pre-war South China Sea operation at its peak. Security troops on 24-hour alert. Crack troubleshooting teams scramble at any time for blown wellheads or refinery fires.
Tens of thousands
SQUARE MILES OF ACTIVE FIELD
Security sensors monitor all fields continuously. Armed response teams stationed at all major sites. Post-Second Corporate War security upgrades remain fully operational.
// OFFSHORE // CASPIAN SEA
Caspian
300 offshore platforms. Each running up to thirty productive wells. Flotel support, submersible tankers, naval security vessels. Workers may go weeks without seeing land. The Caspian operation is SovOil's most secure offshore concentration, fortified following the Second Corporate War.
300
OFFSHORE PLATFORMS
// OFFSHORE // SOUTH CHINA SEA
South China Sea
600 platforms, SovOil's largest offshore concentration and the site of the Second Corporate War. Rebuilt and expanded since the conflict. Naval security presence treated as a military operation. Crisis platforms and fire-fighting vessels on constant patrol.

OFFSHORE PLATFORMS
// ONSHORE // KAZAKHSTAN, USSR
Kazakhstan
Yarno Kurgasyn's home region and the political base that enabled the original corporate consolidation. Thousands of wellheads producing millions of barrels daily across the Muslim-populated scrub. Pipeline networks feed directly into Caspian terminals.
// EXPLORATORY // ANTARCTICA
Antarctica
Thirty exploratory platforms on the perpetually frozen surface. Extreme conditions, extreme isolation, extreme operational cost, and potentially enormous reward. The Antarctic fields represent SovOil's long-term answer to the end of Siberian production. Operational since the post-war expansion.

// PRODUCT DIVISIONS // 2047
What We Produce
Oil is primary. Everything else is the future.
01
Crude Oil
SovOil's primary product. Ten million barrels daily from Siberia, Kazakhstan, the Caspian, the South China Sea, and Antarctica. Petrochem pumps a third of that amount. The USSR lags behind the NUSA and Western Europe in transitioning to advanced fuels, Soviet vehicles and power stations still run predominantly on petroleum distillates, making the domestic market alone enormous.
"Petrochem pumps a third of what we pump. They have better technology. We have more oil."
The one market SovOil cannot access is the NUSA, where Petrochem holds a full monopoly enforced through political and commercial means. SovOil retaliates by maintaining a complete block on Petrochem products throughout the USSR and its sphere of influence. The standoff has been in place since the Second Corporate War.
02
CHOOH2
SovOil produces and sells Biotechnica-licensed CHOOH2 across all of its markets. CHOOH2-powered vehicles are increasing in popularity throughout the USSR, particularly in urban centres. SovOil's CHOOH2 operation is growing but remains secondary to crude oil. The corporation views it as essential infrastructure for the transition era, profitable now, and necessary for market position when oil dominance fades.
03
Petrochemicals
Large, well-funded laboratories conducting continuous research into synthetics, pharmaceuticals, and petroleum derivatives. Thousands of products exported globally. Petrochem holds a technological edge in molecular engineering, SovOil moves far more product and is closing the gap. Several pharmaceutical lines reach NUSA markets through third-party distribution.
04
Oil Infrastructure
Entirely self-sufficient in the design and manufacture of its own pumping, transport, and refining technology. No third-party companies manufacture these items, there is no world market for them. SovOil's heavy industry resources, many inherited from former Soviet state enterprises, handle all of it in-house. The Offshore Engineering subsidiary alone employs several hundred thousand people.
05
Heavy Industry
Mining operations across the Soviet federation. Shipbuilding. Industrial manufacturing inherited from the state apparatus. Revenue secondary to oil but strategically important for maintaining SovOil's grip on Soviet economic life beyond the energy sector.
06
Diversification
The long game. SovOil's board knows the oil will run out. The corporation has begun moving into aircraft, computing, synthetics, CHOOH2 power systems, and general agriculture. By 2050, the target is a product base capable of sustaining the corporation through the end of petroleum entirely, and through whatever conflict with Petrochem follows it.
By 2050, the board intends independence from petroleum revenue entirely.
// WORKFORCE // HUMAN RESOURCES DIVISION
Work for the largest oil operation on earth.

// APPLICATION RECEIVED, WORKER WELFARE DIVISION WILL RESPOND WITHIN 30 BUSINESS DAYS //
// BUSINESS ENQUIRIES // NIGHT CITY OFFICE
Business enquiries only.
SovOil's Night City office handles all NUSA-adjacent business contacts. Note that SovOil does not sell crude oil in the NUSA, Petrochem's monopoly is a political reality SovOil contests through retaliatory market controls rather than direct competition. CHOOH2, petrochemical products, pharmaceutical exports, and heavy industry partnerships are handled through this office. Unsolicited approaches from Petrochem representatives are not responded to.
