Chornomornaftogaz (also: Chernomorneftegaz, Ukrainian: Чорноморнафтогаз, Russian: Черноморнефтегаз, lit. "Black Sea oil and gas") is an oil and gas company located along Krymgazseti in Simferopol, Crimea. The company was established with the order of the Ministry of Gas Industry of the USSR on 20 October 1978 №209-org to develop oil and gas resources in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.[4][5]

It is legally a subsidiary of Ukraine's state-owned oil and gas company Naftogaz.[6] However, after the 2014 Crimean crisis it was seized by the region's parliament in the run-up to its annexation by Russia.[7] There was also a privately owned oil company Chernomorneftegaz, registered in Moscow in 1998 and purchased by Rosneft in 2011, which is not linked to Chornomornaftogaz.[8]
