Behind the energy we use every day are more than technologies, facilities and complex processes. There are people, decisions and actions that keep everything running.
They are specialists who monitor, check, analyse and make decisions. They identify solutions, adjust processes, prevent problems and constantly look for ways to do things better. From refining and petrochemicals to the infrastructure and energy needed to operate the Petromidia platform, their work contributes every day to operational continuity, product quality and process efficiency.
In this series, we bring to the forefront the specialists behind processes that, more often than not, remain unseen – and, above all, what they make possible. We explore how their experience and expertise are turned into solutions, how decisions made at every stage influence the final outcome, and what happens before a product reaches the market.
From a new polymer grade to aviation fuel, from crude oil processing to the facilities and utilities that support the platform’s operations, every result is the outcome of a chain of actions, decisions and collaboration. Because energy is not just what we see in the end. It is also everything that people do, day after day, to keep things running.

In 2025, together with the Petromidia team, we achieved new operational records and processed 5.4 million tonnes of crude oil. Behind every product are people, energy, technology and a great deal of responsibility. Our mission is to provide the energy and products Romania needs.”
