Russia's NORSI Refinery Restarting CDU-6

REFINING

Lukoil’s drone damaged NORSI refinery in Russia has restarted a key piece of processing equipment according to Reuters sources Wednesday.

  • They said the CDU-6 crude distillation unit - halted on March 12 - resumed processing on June 22.
  • One of the sources said the unit was running at around 60% of capacity, processing about 15,800 tons per day.
  • NORSI processed 22,000 tons of oil per day on average when CDU-6 was offline. In February it processed around 42,250 tons per day on average.
  • The NORSI refinery has a capacity of 340,000 bpd and produces around 11% of Russian gasoline, a market that has been tight and led to export bans.
