REFINING: Russian Refining Offline Capacity at 4mn tons in Otcober
REFINING
Russian refiners plan to take 4 million metric tons of capacity offline in October for maintenance – 67% higher than a previous plan according to Reuters sources.
- The revision follows Tuapse pausing operations on weak margins and postponed maintenance at the Novokuibyshev refinery and at the CDU-6 unit at Lukoil's NORSI oil plant.
- In September idle capacity was 4.5 million tons.
- Russia's November idle primary oil refining capacity is seen at 1.2 million tons but could rise to 1.8 million tons depending on rescheduling.
