30% reduction in processing volumes

According to information released by the Reuters agency citing sources in the oil industry, the capacity of the Russian oil refining industry has decreased by approximately 30% as a result of Ukrainian strikes.

Status of major enterprises

Since the end of October, actions by the Armed Forces of Ukraine have damaged the operations of nine of the 35 largest oil refining enterprises in Russia. The total capacity of the affected facilities is estimated at approximately 300,000 tonnes of oil per day. This figure accounts for almost a third of the country's total processing capacity, which stands at 930,000 tonnes per day.

Production dynamics

At the end of October, Russian oil refineries were processing 700,000 tonnes of oil per day. However, due to a series of strikes, these volumes could decrease by a further 200,000 tonnes.

Geography of strikes

Among the damaged enterprises mentioned are oil refineries in Ryazan, Yaroslavl, and the Volga region. A separate incident was the drone attack on the Kirishi plant on 9 November, which ranks second in size among oil refining facilities in Russia.
