Russian Refinery Runs Jumped to Highest Since Early-April

REFINING

Russian oil processing rose to around 5.7mbpd in the week to 13 December, up by around 368kbpd from the first six days of the month according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

  • Russian crude processing in the first 13 days of December averaged 5.53mbpd, up some 16kbpd compared with data from most of November, according to Bloomberg calculations.
  • The increase was driven by higher runs at Rosneft’s Tuapse refinery in southern Russia’s Krasnodar region, the person said.
  • Higher processing rates at the Afipsky and Ilsky plants, also in the Krasnodar region, as well as at Lukoil PJSC’s Volgograd facility, contributed to the weekly growth in runs, the person said.
