Against the backdrop of drones on refinery: Russia has increased exports of raw oil - the media

According to analyst Alex Khods, blows in Russian oil refineries can lead to a reduction in the world's oil supply by about 350,000 barrels per day. The strikes of Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles on oil refineries (refineries) of the Russian Federation have led to a decrease in oil refining and an increase in exports of Russian crude oil. Reuters writes about it. According to journalists, in 2024 Ukraine intensified attacks on oil infrastructure of the Russian Federation.

Only in March UAVs attacked at least seven Russian oil refineries. According to estimates, 7% of Russia's refining capacities were stopped as a result of attacks. Stonex analyst Alex Khods said in a comment on the media that reducing oil refining has led to an increase in raw oil exports from the Russian Federation. It is also possible to reduce the production of raw oil, as the Russian Federation faces restrictions on its storage.

According to the Codez calculations, blows on Russian refineries can lead to a reduction in the world's oil supply by about 350,000 barrels per day and an increase in oil prices in the US by 3 dollars per barrel. We will remind, since the beginning of the year, drones have successfully attacked at least 8 large oil refineries in the Russian Federation, which produce tens of millions of barrels of petroleum products.
