Kogalym is a city in Russia, located in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra. It is situated in the Surgut District of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra of the Tyumen Oblast of Russia, between the Inguyagun and Kirill-Vysyagun rivers. The city covers an area of 20.5 km². Its population is 61.4 thousand people (2021).

The origination of the town is related to the discovery of the Povkhovskoye, Vatyeganskoye, and Tevlinsko-Russkinskoye oil fields in Western Siberia in 1971. In 1975, the builders of the Surgut–Korotchayevo railway settled in the area, and on August 31 of 1976, the settlement received its official name - Kogalymsky.

Kogalym is the base city of the main production facilities of PJSC LUKOIL (its main division, LLC LUKOIL-Western Siberia).

The postage stamp provides an image of an oil industry worker against the backdrop of an oil production complex, with the overprinted text Kogalym — the oil production center, 50 years and a surcharge of the new denomination “50 rubles”.

In addition to the issue of the overprinted postage stamp, JSC Marka produced First Day Covers and special cancels for Moscow and Kogalym of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra.
