Russia close to cutting oil output due to drone attacks: Reuters

Russia's oil output may decrease after Ukrainian drone strikes damaged facilities, with an estimated 300,000 barrels per day refining capacity lost in August and September, analysts say.

  • Ukraine has intensified drone attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, forcing Transneft to warn producers of potential output cuts.
  • These strikes aim to limit Russia's ability to export oil, reflecting a growing effort to disrupt international oil markets and raise prices.
  • Goldman Sachs estimates that Ukrainian strikes have disrupted Russian oil refining operations by approximately 300 thousand barrels daily, contributing to tighter conditions in the diesel market.
  • Alex Hodes, an analyst at StoneX, noted that significant harm to Russian refineries may boost the need for U.S. diesel shipments and help maintain the inverted forward curve.
  • The disruptions are contributing to rising oil prices and suggest sustained pressure on global energy supply amid stalled conflict talks.
