The Ryazan Refinery, operated by Russia’s state-owned oil
giant Rosneft, had to cut its throughput capacity by half after being damaged in
a recent Ukrainian drone attack, Reuters reported on Aug. 4, citing sources.
According to the sources, two primary processing units—CDU-3 (capable of cracking 8,600 tons of crude per day) and CDU-4 (11,400 tons per day)—were shut down on Aug. 2. The refinery now operates only CDU-6, which accounts for roughly 48 percent of its total capacity.
Last year, the refinery processed 13.1 million tons of crude oil, producing 2.3 million tons of gasoline, 3.4 million tons of diesel fuel, 4.2 million tons of fuel oil, and 1 million tons of aviation fuel.
The attack also reportedly disabled another Rosneft asset, the Novokuybyshevsk refinery. Rosneft did not immediately comment on the matter.
Ukraine’s General Staff previously announced that several Russian industrial facilities were targeted in the Aug. 2 drone attack.
