In July 2026, the average productivity of Russian refineries reached 3.91 million barrels per day. Bloomberg writes about this with reference to data from EA Analytics, a division of the British company Energy Aspects, which analyzes commodity and energy markets.
This is the lowest number since March 2005. It is also more than 1.4 million barrels per day below the July average of last year.
Financial Times last week books Unnamed analysts were quoted as saying that due to Ukrainian attacks on oil infrastructure, Russia may lose between 20 and 40 percent of its oil refining capacity.
According to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), against the backdrop of the Ukrainian attacks, not only oil production is declining, but also declining. In June, 8.928 million barrels of crude oil fell per day. This is the lowest level since at least February 2024. Notes Bloomberg.
