Russian refineries increase diesel production following the introduction of new export quotas In mid-October, diesel production in Russia began to rise, approaching 180,000 tons per day. In the first half of October, it dropped to about 160,000 tons per second compared to 175,000 tons per second in September. According to Reuters calculations, in October, domestic diesel consumption in Russia traditionally drops to about 140,000 tons per day due to seasonal factors (the end of the grain harvest and the summer road season). This would leave at least 40,000 t/s, or more than a million tons per month, for export. About 0.2-0.3 million tons of this volume may be required for neighboring countries (according to intergovernmental agreements). On October 9, Trump said that President Vladimir Putin had agreed with him on the supply of diesel fuel from Russia to the United States and the world market. Russia approved the deal and according to Trump is expected to deliver more than 300,000 tons (about 2.25 million barrels) of diesel in October, then another 500,000 tons in November and a million tons immediately after. He also said that Russia would supply another 3 million tons depending on the state of its refineries. LSEG data showed that already on October 23, a tanker flying the flag of Malta, carrying 40,000 tons of Russian diesel fuel to New York, appeared on the surveillance systems.
