OIL PRODUCTS

Gazprom 's Astrakhan gas processing plant halted production of diesel and gasoline on March 31 due to unplanned maintenance according to Reuters sources.

  • The facility will attempt to restart production on Sunday according to a source. Further details of the outage are not currently available.
  • Traders were notified about a suspension of diesel and gasoline sales from the facility by St Petersburg International Mercantile Exchange.
  • The plant capacity of around 8,340 metric tons of gas condensate per day is not hugely significant but adds to the existing outages due to Ukrainian drone attacks and planned maintenance.
  • The plant produced 703k tons of gasoline, or 1.6% of Russia's total in 2023 along with 492k tons of diesel (0.6%) and 299k tons of fuel oil (0.7%).
