Industry sources said Ukrainian drone strikes since late October have knocked
Russian refining capacity down roughly 30%. The refineries hit include three
large central Russian plants in Ryazan, Yaroslavl and the Volga region with
combined nominal capacity of about 300,000 t/day (≈2.2mn b/d); Russia’s total
primary refining capacity is about 930,000 t/day. Sources said crude runs at
Russian refineries were roughly 700,000 t/day (≈5.0mn b/d) at end-October and
estimate actual processing may have fallen by as much as 200,000 t/day.
