ℹ️ From March 14 to 20, oil refineries of the Russian Federation processed 5.03 million barrels of oil per day. That's more than 400,000 barrels per day less than the average for the first 13 days of the month.

ℹ️ Kyiv is justifying the attack by the fact that it seeks to limit the supply of fuel to the front line and reduce the flow of petrodollars to the Kremlin coffers.

ℹ️ The actual reduction in total oil refining is smaller because intact refineries have increased their throughput to ensure sufficient fuel production.

ℹ️ PJSC Rosneft accounts for more than half of the total drop in Russian oil refining volumes over the past week, after two of its largest facilities were attacked in early March.

ℹ️ Crude output at the Ryazan refinery, which was attacked on March 13, fell by more than 160,000 barrels per day, about 63% below the average for the first 13 days of March. Rosneft's Syzran plant, which was attacked last weekend, reduced oil processing by 62,000 barrels per day over the same period, or 67%.

ℹ️ PJSC Lukoil's oil refinery in Norsi, which was damaged by a drone on March 12, reduced daily oil processing by more than 91,000 barrels, or 36%.

ℹ️ Almost a quarter, or about 97,000 bpd, is at the PJSC Gazprom Nafta refinery in Moscow, which was not hit but began scheduled maintenance earlier this week.

ℹ️ As the Russian authorities focus on supplying the domestic fuel market, any reduction in the country's oil refining will lead to a decrease in fuel exports.

ℹ️ According to preliminary estimates, drone attacks could reduce diesel production in Russia by 6-8%. Supplies of diesel fuel and fuel oil for export may decrease by 120,000-150,000 barrels per day.
