Currently, the volume of gasoline supplies to the Russian domestic market is significantly behind the plans and indicators of last year, contrary to the corresponding requirements of the Russian authorities to increase levels. The failure of local oil companies to increase their fuel sales on the stock market ultimately leads to a significant increase in quotations, informs newspaper “Kommersant” with reference to industry sources.
The backlog of the plan in June was almost 7%. This is a comparison to the initial level required for fuel shipments for local oil companies. The delay is largely due to preventive work at the oil refineries (refinery) mentioned in the article.
“Oil companies supplied 2.8 million tons of gasoline to the domestic market in June, which is 6.5 percent less than the same period last year. <…> The oil companies’ initial plans for fuel shipments in June were more than 3 million tons of gasoline, but in practice shipments were almost 7% behind schedule, and about the same amount as of June 2022, ”says the article.
At the same time, oil companies have recently begun to gradually increase the volume of gasoline production on an average daily basis. After the completion of the repairs at the refinery, this figure increased by 6.6% compared to May values.
26 June TASS agency, referring to AC “TEK” materials reportedThat Russian refineries (refineries) can increase gasoline production to 49 million tons by 2030. At the same time, gasoline production in 2024 will remain at the level of 2023, reaching 45 million tons, and in 2025 it will be around 48 million tons.
