The PJSC Lukoil Oil Company (Russian: Лукойл, romanized: Lukoyl, IPA: [ˈluːkɔɪl] stylized as LUKOIL or ЛУКОЙЛ in Cyrillic script) is a Russian multinational energy corporation headquartered in Moscow, specializing in the business of extraction, production, transport, and sale of petroleum, natural gas, petroleum products, and electricity. It was formed in 1991 when three state-run, western Siberian companies merged. The original companies were named after their respective towns in Khanty–Mansi Autonomous Okrug that each was based in; Langepasneftegaz, Urayneftegaz, and Kogalymneftegaz. Its new name is the combination of the acronym LUK (initials of the oil-producing cities of Langepas, Uray, Kogalym) and the English word "oil".[3][4]

Lukoil is the second largest company in Russia after Gazprom, and the country's largest non-state enterprise in terms of revenue, with 4,744 billion in 2018.[5][6] In the 2020 Forbes Global 2000, Lukoil was ranked as the 99th-largest public company in the world. Internationally, it is one of the largest global producers of crude oil. In 2019, the company produced 87.488 million metric tons of oil (1.639 million barrels per day) and 35.046 billion cubic meters of natural gas.[7][failed verification] As of 2021, the company had operations and subsidiaries in more than 30 countries around the world.[8][needs update] In 2022, the company's revenue amounted to 2.9 trillion rubles.[9]

In 2024, LUKOIL left the Hungarian market, and was replaced with Orlen.
