Reuters said that gasoline exports from the Russian Federation fell by 37% in January 2024, diesel exports fell by 23%.
Russia will reduce the export of petroleum products by 127.5-136 thousand barrels per day, which is 1/3 of its exports, as a result of accurate strikes by Ukrainian drones on Russian refineries and oil depots in Black and Baltic Seas, as well. as deep as the back. This scenario was suggested in its material by the Reuters news agency, citing data from traders and tanker tracking services.
Gasoline exports from the Russian Federation in January 2024 decreased by 37%, diesel exports decreased by 23% (compared to January 2023). In addition to the drone attacks, this is due to a reduction in oil production of 500 thousand b/d as part of an agreement with OPEC+.
If attacks continue at the current intensity, “disruption could become a problem,” said Sergei Vakulenko, a visiting fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
According to him, refineries “are important for the economy and for warfare – cars and trucks, tractors and combines, tanks and ships, civil and military aircraft need to be fueled with gasoline, diesel fuel and kerosene, not crude.”
Earlier it was reported that an oil depot was on fire in the Bryansk region of the Russian Federation, and the Russians announced a drone attack.
