In the 1950s the development of oil and natural gas field in Siberia was in full swing. And an oil-refining complex was built here, along with an entire "town of oilworkers" (gorodok Neftyanikov). So Omsk expanded northward along the Irtysh. It is currently the largest complex in Russia, and third such in Europe. Gazprom Neft, the parent company, is the largest employer in the city.
