We describe here a 6.6-Mb draft genome sequence of Rhodococcus erythropolis strain HX7, which was obtained from soil samples collected from the northern Arkhangelsk region in the Russian Federation. This genomic resource will support further study of mechanisms of cold-resistant oil degradation in soil and potentially aid in soil bioremediation in cold oil-producing regions.
