Reuters reports this.

The article states that the capacity of CDU-5 is 9,500 tons per day, which equals 70,000 barrels. The second oil refinery has a production capacity of 10,500 tons of oil per day. It is currently unknown whether this unit is operating normally.

According to Reuters estimates, Russia's oil refining capacity, which was shut down in the first quarter due to Ukrainian drone attacks on at least seven refineries, is about 7% of the total - 4.6 million tons (370,500 barrels per day).

Last year, the Kuibyshev refinery was the 29th largest refinery in Russia in terms of production: its share was 1.34% of the total refining volume, namely 3.687 million tons of crude oil. It produced 624,000 tons of gasoline (1.42% of the total Russian output), 1.187 million tons of diesel fuel (1.35%), and 1.040 million tons of fuel oil (2.56%).

  • On March 23, residents of Novokuibyshevsk, Samara region, reported a fire near a Rosneft oil refinery after a drone strike.
