Russia's Syzran oil refinery halted by May 21 drone attack, sources say
The local governor said that two people were killed by a drone attack on the town of Syzran in Russia's Samara region while Ukraine said it had struck the area's refinery. The sources said the refinery's CDU-6 crude distillation unit, which accounts for more than 70% of the plant's capacity, was shut down after the attack and that repairs could take more than a month.
Russia's Syzran oil refinery on the Volga river has halted operations after a Ukrainian drone attack on May 21 damaged a primary processing unit, two industry sources said on Monday. The local governor said that two people were killed by a drone attack on the town of Syzran in Russia's Samara region while Ukraine said it had struck the area's refinery.
The sources said the refinery's CDU-6 crude distillation unit, which accounts for more than 70% of the plant's capacity, was shut down after the attack and that repairs could take more than a month. Rosneft, which owns the plant, did not respond immediately to a request for comment.
The plant's nameplate capacity stands at 8.5 million metric tons a year, or 170,000 barrels per day. It processed 4.3 million tons of crude oil in 2024, producing 1.5 million tons of diesel, 800,000 tons of gasoline and 700,000 tons of fuel oil, the sources said.
