Russia will extend the ban on diesel exports and use quotas to implement the agreement with the United States. Reuters. Russia will extend its ban on diesel exports until the end of the year, while allowing some companies to supply the fuel under a quota system to meet new export obligations to the United States, two sources familiar with the discussions told Reuters. Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said that Russian refineries are quickly recovering from repairs. Sources said their workload increased by 25% by the end of October compared to the beginning of the month after drone attacks on sites fell. As part of the current ban on diesel exports, the government allows limited exports through a quota system. In November, those quotas will double from October levels to 2 million tons, or about half a million barrels per day, the sources said. The current ban on diesel exports will expire on October 31. In October, the government exempted some refineries from the ban and granted them export quotas totaling 0.5 million tonnes, sources said. A new government order at the beginning of November is expected to expand the list of factories exempt from the ban and set new export limits. If the quotas are quickly exhausted, the government may consider increasing them further, the sources added.
