Bashneft is a Russian oil company formed by the transfer of the oil related assets of the Soviet oil ministry in Bashkortostan to the regional government of the Republic of Bashkortostan by Boris Yeltsin. It was then privatized during 2002-3 by Murtaza Rakhimov, the president of Bashkortostan, an ally of Yeltsin's, with a controlling interest in Bashkir Capital, a holding company controlled by Rakhimov's son, Ural Rakhimov. In 2009 a controlling interest in Bashneft was acquired for $2 billion by Vladimir Yevtushenkov[3] and placed in his holding company, Sistema, but in July 2014 he was jailed and 72% of Sistema's interest in Bashneft seized by the Russian government.[4][5] Following seizure of the company in December 2014 Yevtushenkov was released from jail, "charges not proven," but Ural Rakhimov was reported to have fled the country.[6] It is one of the larger producers of oil products in the country.[7] The company operates 140 oil and natural gas fields in Russia and has an annual oil production of 16 million tonnes. Bashneft owns three oil refineries located in Ufa with a combined capacity of 820,000 bbl/d (130,000 m3/d) and 100 petrol stations.

Murtaza Rakhimov, Kadir Timergazin have worked in Bashneft.
In 2016, Bashneft was ranked as being among the 12th best of 92 oil, gas, and mining companies on indigenous rights in the Arctic.[10]
Bashneft has been ranked no. 48 in the Arctic Environmental Responsibility Index (AERI) that covers 120 oil, gas, and mining companies involved in resource extraction north of the Arctic Circle.[11]

In 2009, Sistema increased its stake in the BashTEK companies to more than 75% by entering into agreements for the purchase of controlling stakes in the BashTEK companies (the "BashTEK Shares") from third party private Russian companies (the "SPAs" and the "Second Acquisition"). Under the terms of SPAs, the price to be paid for the BashTEK Shares was US$ 2 billion plus an additional payment of US$ 0.5 billion which, under the terms of the SPAs, was conditional on the fulfilment of a number of conditions. These conditions were not met and, as a result and in accordance with the terms of the SPAs, the additional payment of US$ 0.5 billion was not payable.
