Orsk Oil Refinery Fully Shut Down After Drone Attacks. Repairs Could Take Up to Six Months Due to Sanctions

The Orsk oil refinery has fully shut down after drone attacks. Repairs could take up to six months because of sanctions. This was reported by the governor of Orenburg Region.

“As for the plant in Orsk that suffered from a terrorist attack. The situation there is difficult. Striking elements hit key infrastructure that currently cannot be restored. The equipment is imported, and given the sanctions, repair сроки will drag on for up to 6 months. The plant has been completely shut down. We are preparing for the worst-case scenario. We will have to rely on imported fuel deliveries. Logistics are already being reconfigured. Out of 287 gas stations, 80% are operating. Let me remind you that special transport is the priority today,” he wrote.

Yesterday, limits were introduced in the region on gasoline sales and an odd-even system.
