Colleagues write about the attack on the Kirishi refinery in the Leningrad region. After a series of explosions, a fire broke out in the project area. The strikes in the industrial zone were confirmed by Governor Alexander Drozdenko.
◼ We are talking about KINEF, owned by Surgutneftegaz. It is the second largest refinery in Russia with a design capacity of about 21 million tons of oil per year - about 6-7% of all Russian refining. The company produces gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and other petroleum products, including St. Petersburg and Pulkovo Airport.
Only the lazy do not talk about the third wave of the fuel crisis. Things became easier in the second half of October: a break in the attacks allowed factories to increase processing. The authorities treated this respite as a reason for optimism.
◼ Moreover, the longer the strikes continue, the more difficult it will be: the factories will have to restore production at the same time and repair what has been restored. In winter, the demand for gasoline will decrease, which will help a little. But by spring we will need both fuel for sowing and supplies for the driving season.
