After strokes on the refinery: Russia was fixed by gasoline production collapse

According to Rosstat, in just a week fuel release fell by 7. 4%, and the work of the largest enemy plants was actually paralyzed. The Kremlin even had to ask for help in Belarus. The Russian Federation faced a new problem and is related to the blows of the Ukrainian side in oil refineries (refineries). Gasoline production declined sharply. About it writes The Moscow Times. It is noted that now the work of some of the largest Russian refineries "Rosneft" and "Lukoil" is actually paralyzed.

Last week alone, the release of automobile fuel decreased 7. 4% and amounted to 754. 6 thousand tons, which was reported the day before in Rosstat. "A week earlier in Russia was produced 815. 3 thousand tons of gasoline, a week from March 4 to March 10 - 838. 9 thousand tons. Thus, in three weeks the economy lost 10. 1% of gasoline production. Diesel fuel production for the same period I asked 3. 9%to 1. 648 million tons, " - the message reads.

Now, they continue in the material, about 14% of Russian primary processing facilities at the refinery are simply idle. At the same time, about 10% of them account for plants that are directly engaged in the production of gasoline and diesel for the domestic market. For example, on March 13, UAV attacked the largest Rosneft plant, which is located in Ryazan. It provides fuel to Moscow and the area.

After the impact, two installations stopped at once and production decreased greatly - by one third (3. 3 thousand tons per day). Diesel fuel began to produce less by half - (5. 8 thousand tons per day). Only after 3 days did the installation of oil refining on the refinery in Sisan, which is the only active. On the weekend, the same was recorded at the Kuibyshevsky NPP "Rosneft". In this regard, Russia could even start negotiations with Belarus on importing gasoline, but they are not easy.

" "How many Belarusian gasoline will be needed, it is unclear: the situation in the fuel market of the Russian Federation is constantly changing, new fires are taking place at the refinery. If it is possible to complete the repair in a short time, then the fuel deficit will not be very noticeable," - said the source of Reuters in one of the large oil companies.
