The Druzhba oil pipeline, with a throughput capacity of 2 million barrels per day, remains the last major route for Russian oil supplies to European refineries.

Russian and Kazakh oil supplies to Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Germany through the Druzhba pipeline have been stopped since December 19 due to technical problems at the Russian pumping station. Writing about it Reuters on Friday, December 20th.

It was clarified that the cause was a technical problem at a pumping station in Unecha, in the Bryansk region of Russia, about 70 km from the border with Belarus.

The Druzhba oil pipeline, with a capacity of 2 million barrels per day, remains the last major route for Russian oil supplies to European refineries after the EU reduced its dependence on Russian energy.

Belarusian concern Belneftekhim confirmed the supply disruption and noted that local oil refineries are operating thanks to reserves.

Before the shutdown, the pipeline delivered 300 thousand barrels per day. According to sources, the disruptions affected Russian oil supplies to Belarus and EU countries.

One of the sources suggested that the oil could be redirected from Druzhba to the ports. While another source believed the problem would be resolved within days, a third said deliveries were halted until the end of the month.

Let’s recall that the depressurization of the Garshino-Rostoshinsky underground low-pressure oil pipeline occurred in the Kurmanaevsky district of the Orenburg region of Russia, 7 km from the village of Garshino.

Recently, in Poland, a leak was detected from the Druzhba oil pipeline in the Pniewa region of the Greater Poland Voivodeship, near Poznan.
