REFINING: Russia Refinery Runs Rebound in Early July

REFINING

Russian oil processing has risen so far in July to the highest since mid-January as capacity returns from seasonal maintenance and Ukrainian attacks according to Bloomberg sources.

  • Russia processed 5.47mbpd of crude on July 1-10 and if the pace is sustained the month of July will be the highest rate seen this year.
  • Daily refinery runs rose by more than 270kbpd compared with the average for most of June.
  • Russian seaborne oil product exports fell to 8.894m tons in June – down 4.2% m/m due to unplanned refinery maintenance according to Reuters. Russia's offline primary oil refining capacity at 4.1m tons was up by 7.9% versus May.
  • The recovery in refinery runs coincides with a drop in Russia’s weekly crude exports in the seven days to July 7, the biggest fall since the invasion of Ukraine in Feb. 2022, Bloomberg said.
