Omskgorgaz faces financial collapse after state takeover in 2025

Both Omskgorgaz Entities Report Nine-Figure Losses for 2025

As noted by SuperOmsk, as of Tuesday, April 7, 2026, financial reports have been disclosed for the state enterprise Omskgorgaz and the joint-stock company Omskgorgaz. Each entity recorded nine-figure losses: the state enterprise reported a loss of approximately 310.1 million rubles (with revenue of around 16.4 million rubles), while the JSC's losses reached 430.8 million rubles (against revenue of about 1.1 billion rubles).

It is worth noting that the state enterprise Omskgorgaz, established in June 2024, closed its first financial year with a modest profit of roughly 1 million rubles. Meanwhile, its namesake JSC—which has been undergoing bankruptcy proceedings since December 2023—was already unprofitable last year, though its losses were over four times smaller, totaling just over 96 million rubles.

The bankruptcy of Omskgorgaz JSC followed a lawsuit from Russia's Prosecutor General's Office exceeding 2 billion rubles. After the claim was upheld, the court ordered the seizure of several assets—including key elements of the region's gas infrastructure—for the state treasury. When the state enterprise Omskgorgaz was founded, plans were announced to transfer the JSC's property assets to it. In September 2024, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree transferring these assets to the ownership of Omsk Region.
