Wintershall specialises in energy and is a wholly owned subsidiary of BASF SE, based in Ludwigshafen. Together with its affiliates, Wintershall is active in exploration, production and trading of crude oil and natural gas since more than 75 years. In addition the Kassel-based company markets capacities for crude oil and natural gas storage, natural gas transportation and optical fibres.
The company has its headquarters in Kassel and is now Germany’s largest producer of crude oil and natural gas. In its exploration and production activities, Wintershall is deliberately focusing on selected core regions where the company possesses a wealth of regional and technological expertise. These regions include Europe, North Africa and South America, as well as Russia and the Caspian area. Wintershall is the operating company in more than 60 per cent of production.
The company is actively pursuing a policy of ongoing investment in the development of new deposits and the expansion of existing fields. In this context Wintershall attaches the same importance to the stringent requirements in terms of environmental protection and work safety as it does to its economic targets.
Wintershall employs more than 1840 staff from more than 30 countries.
