Market Impact

The sustained attacks on Russian refineries are reducing Russia's refining capacity and causing fuel shortages, which may increase global oil product prices and volatility. The disruption to Caspian Pipeline Consortium loadings and damage to Lukoil and Rosneft assets could affect crude oil exports and company revenues.

Event Summary

Since April 2024, Ukraine has intensified drone strikes on Russia's energy infrastructure, targeting oil refineries, petrochemical plants, ports, and oil platforms across Russia, including deep into Siberia. The attacks have caused fires, halted operations at multiple refineries (e.g., Omsk, NORSI, Moscow, TANECO, Kuibyshev, Syzran, Saratov, Ilsky, Afipsky, Salavat, Tyumen, Yaroslavl, Ufa, Tuapse, Slavyansk), and damaged the Caspian Pipeline Consortium's Black Sea terminal and Lukoil's Filanovsky platform. Ukraine aims to deprive Russia of fuel for its military, while Russia reports fuel shortages and rising prices. The campaign has also struck the Blue Stream Pipeline pipeline's pumping station and Baltic/Black Sea ports.
