Gazprom Neft’s 440,000-barrel-per-day Omsk refinery suspends operations after Ukrainian attack amid fuel shortages.
A Ukrainian drone strike has disabled Russia’s largest oil refinery, exacerbating Moscow’s fuel supply crisis. The attack targeted Gazprom Neft’s Omsk refinery, which processes 440,000 barrels per day and is the country’s top gasoline producer. Key processing units were damaged, forcing a shutdown of operations.
The refinery’s closure comes as Russia faces worsening fuel shortages, with domestic prices rising and export restrictions in place. The facility accounts for a significant portion of Russia’s gasoline output, amplifying the economic impact of the strike.
Markets are monitoring the situation for potential disruptions to global oil supplies, though immediate price reactions have been muted.
