history

Nefteyugansk is a relatively young city. It was initially built as a workers' settlement near an oil field that was discovered in 1961 and opened up a year later . The settlement got the name Nefteyuganski , derived from neft = petroleum and Yuganskaya Ob , the name of a branch of the Ob flowing nearby. In 1966, the state oil production company " Juganskneftegas " was founded in the settlement , which today exists as a joint stock company and belongs to the Russian oil company Rosneft . On October 16, 1967, the expanding settlement was named Nefteyugansk and the status of a district town; since then it has been the administrative center of Nefteyugansk Raion .

On June 26, 1998, the then mayor Vladimir Petukhov was shot dead in Nefteyugansk. The prosecution saw a connection with his resistance to the corrupt practices of the Yukos oil company owned by Mikhail Khodorkovsky . The chief of the Yukos security department was convicted, and Mikhail Khodorkovsky was later charged with murder.
