The Kirishi oil refinery in Russia\u2019s Leningrad region has shut down a key processing unit following a Ukrainian drone attack over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Ukrinform<\/a>,\u00a0Reuters\u00a0<\/a>reported this with reference to two unnamed industry sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sources said that after a fire caused by the drone strike, one of the plant\u2019s units was taken halted. This unit accounts for nearly 40% of the refinery\u2019s total processing capacity, or about 20 million metric tons per year (400,000 barrels per day).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sources told Reuters that a furnace at the unit, as well as some other equipment, was damaged, adding that repairs could take about a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To compensate for the outage, the refinery will boost operations at its still functioning sections by up to 20%, which will allow it to maintain processing at roughly 75% of its nominal capacity, the sources said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, the Kirishi refinery processed 17.5 million tons of crude oil, making up 6.6% of Russia\u2019s total refining volume, according to agency sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plant produced 2 million tons of gasoline, 7.1 million tons of diesel fuel, 6.1 million tons of fuel oil, and 0.6 million tons of bitumen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As reported, on September 14, Commander of Ukraine\u2019s Unmanned Systems Forces Robert Brovdi (Madyar) confirmed Ukrainian strikes on the Kirishi refinery in Russia\u2019s Leningrad region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, the Kirishi refinery is among the five largest in Russia. It specializes in the production of high-octane gasoline and all types of fuel, with an annual output of about 20 million tons of products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
