Drones can force the Russian Federation to reduce oil production – Media

Russia, who costs almost 9% of global oil manufacture, can force to reduce the manufacture of raw materials after attacking Ukrainian drones with major oil infrastructure facilities. Reuters write about this with reference to three industry resources.

According to one of them, such a scenario becomes real after drones in the last weeks are struck by the Baltic ports of UST -luga and Primorsk, as well as many larger oil refineries – kinef in the Leningrad region, Rosneft, Rosneft, Rosneft.

Two other Reuters sources said the transneft had stopped receiving oil from manufacturing companies for storage in their system. The company also warned that it could introduce restrictions on receiving raw materials from deposits if infrastructure attacks continued.

Last week, as a result of attacking Ukrainian drones, for the first time since the beginning of the war, Primorsk’s large Baltic port was damaged. Its capacity is about 1 million barrels per day, which is more than 10% of total oil production in Russia.

According to industry resources, as a result of attacking, two kusto and CAIs suffered oil tanks. On Saturday, September 13, Primorsk only returned the job after the interruptions.

The possibilities of exporting Russia’s oil are limited, as another Baltic port of the Russian Federation – UST -luga – has not restored its capacities completely after drones attacking the oil pipeline leading to it in August. This month the port is half loaded.

Within the OPEC+OPEC framework, which controls nearly 40% of global oil labor, the labor quota for Russia will increase by September to 9.449 million barrels daily from 9.344 million barrels daily in August, without the payment plan.

The analysts of American Banks JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs believe that instead of supplementing the victim, Russia will be forced to reduce it. Russia’s ability to increase oil manufacture is now at risk due to limited storage facilities.

Disruptions in the operation of refineries can also negatively affect oil production due to the fullness of storage facilities against the background of reducing the loading of plants, while storing and exporting raw oil is limited.

Remember, on September 12, one of the most huge attacks on the territory of the Russian Federation has taken place since the beginning of an entire war. Powerful blows are in the lukoil oil depot near Smolensk, the largest Russian oil port of Primorsk, as well as in the warehouse of drones in the covered Luhansk region.

On the night of September 16, the Ukraine military struck the refinery in the city of Russia of Saratov.
