The power capacity in UST-Luga will lead to the redirect of oil volumes to Russia ports of Primorsk and Novorossiysk.
The UST-Luga export terminal will work in September at about 350 thousand barrels per day. This indicator is approximately half of its usual power, Reuters reported with reference.
The decline is associated with damage to the pipeline infrastructure as a result of attacking Ukrainian drones. The damage is complicated to export Russia’s oil and threaten delivery disruptions.
Problems with UST-Luga began after a strike at the oil pumping station in the Utyach region earlier in August. Unecha is a major transit node for oil to go to UST-Luga.
Attacks also affected pumping through the friendship of the oil pipeline, which provides oil to Belarus, Slovakia and Hungary. Slovakia said this week the pipeline supply continued in test mode.
The power capacity in UST-Luga will lead to the redirect of oil volumes to Russia ports of Primorsk and Novorossiysk.
The Russian government has not commented on the public on the size of the damage and the consequences for the export schedule.
The operator of the pipelines and terminals, transneft, refused to comment.
Keep in mind that the Ukrainian military has injured the UST-Luga marine terminal in the Leningrad region of the Russian Federation, Syzran oil refinery, as well as logistics facilities in other regions of Russia.
