Analysts said at the time that it would take several weeks for the complex to resume large-scale operations, but some operations could resume soon. They also believe that Novatek will now be forced to export larger volumes of gas condensate instead of high-margin fuel through other terminals.
In 2023, 5.2 million tons of oil were sent from the port of Ust-Luga to Asia, of which 2.8 million tons came from the terminal. Novatecasaid LSEG data.
The complex receives gas condensate, a type of light oil, to process about 7 million tons and produce petroleum products such as crude oil, jet fuel and gas oil.
