Russian refinery output down in 1Q

摘要

Russian refining activity was lower in first-quarter 2021 than a year earlier, reflecting reduced products demand at home and in export markets because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Crude runs were down by nearly 7pc on the year at of 5.55mn b/d in January-March, as all of Russia’s large refiners cut throughputs, according to data from CDU TEK — a branch of FGBU ‘REA’, Russian Energy Ministry.
