Over the years, LUKOIL-Azerbaijan has remained one of the leading petroleum product distributors in Azerbaijan and a strategic partner for most enterprises in the region. The organization operates 87 fuel stations and one oil depot.

The building is listed in the register of architectural monuments of Azerbaijan.
I have many personal memories associated with this building,” said Heydar Aliyev, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, at the opening ceremony of the office center. “At the beginning of the century, this building served workers of the oil industry and businesspeople working in the oil sector. By the end of the 20th century, it became part of LUKOIL, a company holding a prominent place in the modern oil industry. I am pleased that LUKOIL has done extensive work and breathed new life into this building,” emphasized the President.
