The four new gas stations are located in Oradea (2), western Romania, Buzau (S) and Alexandru cel Bun (Neamt county).
Before the new openings, SOCAR was present only in eastern Romania.
The company currently operates 20 gas stations locally, of which seven have been inaugurated this year, Hamza Karimov, the chief executive officer of SOCAR Romania, said in a press release Wednesday.
So far, SOCAR has invested about EUR50 million in Romania.
The company will also open a gas station in Bucharest and works are underway, Karimov said. New openings also target Timisoara, Adjud, Bacau, Focsani, Cluj, Iasi, Ramnicu Valcea, Bistrita, Arad, Constanta and Deva, he added.
The company said a while ago it planned to expand its local network to 300 units in the following years.
