Azeri state oil firm SOCAR was seen as a potential buyer for Cressier after its purchase of ExxonMobil's Swiss fuel supply business late last year.
A former Russian energy minister was planning to use an investment vehicle, Fund Energy, to bid for all three remaining Petroplus plants, a source close to the matter said last week.
Earlier this month, Swiss-based trader Gunvor, co-owned by Russian tycoon Gennady Timchenko, said it was buying a Petroplus refinery in Antwerp in Belgium, in a move to expand its infrastructure footprint in Europe's largest oil trading hub.
