As a result of the strikes of Ukrainian drones, the capacity of Russian refineries was disabled in the amount of 600 to 900 thousand barrels, which is 10% to 15% of daily oil refining.
This is reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to Bloomberg, informs UAINFO.org.
According to the estimates of Gunvor CEO Torbjorn Tornqvist, about 600,000 barrels were disabled.
Drone strikes hit several factories in Russia, some deep inside its borders, sending diesel futures up for a fourth straight session.
"It's important because obviously it's going to hit distillate exports right away. So it's probably going to cut exports by a couple of hundred thousand barrels," Tornqvist said.
Gunvor was a major trader of Russian oil prior to the invasion of Ukraine, but ceased trading shortly after the war began.
Meanwhile, according to JPMorgan Chase, as a result of Ukrainian attacks, Russian oil refining capacity lost about 900,000 barrels per day. It could take "several weeks or even months" to restore capacity, and the strikes would add about a $4 per barrel risk premium to global oil prices, analysts said.
