MOSCOW, Aug 4 (Reuters) – Ryazan oil refinery, operated by the Rosneft oil company, has halted around half its refining capacity since August 2 following a Ukrainian drone attack last week, three industry sources said.
According to the sources, two primary oil refining units were stopped following the drone attacks – CDU-3 with a capacity of 8,600 metric tons per day, and CDU-4 with a capacity of 11,400 tons per day.
Rosneft did not respond immediately to a request for comment.
At the moment, the Ryazan refinery is operating with the primary oil refining unit CDU-6, which has capacity of 23,200 tons per day – around 48% of total capacity.
Last year, the refinery processed 13.1 million tons of crude oil, produced 2.3 million tons of motor gasoline, 3.4 million tons of diesel, 4.2 million tons of fuel oil, and 1.0 million tons of jet, according to industry sources.
Rosneft`s Novokuibyshevsk refinery was also damaged by drone attacks and has been halted since August 2.
Ukraine’s type of sanctions are the best sanctions you can hope for. No Western ones have managed to make any mafia refinery to cease half of its production.
