Overview
- Reuters-cited sources say the reduction equals about 250,000 barrels per day after a fire at the Kalyeykino pumping station in Tatarstan.
- Kalyeykino can pump roughly 1 million barrels per day and serves as a key site for mixing crude into the Urals export grade and feeding Druzhba and port routes.
- A Ukrainian security official and industry sources reported drones hit the facility, which is near Almetyevsk more than 1,200 kilometers from the Ukraine border.
- One source said two storage tanks of about 50,000 metric tonnes each caught fire, though the full extent of damage has yet to be determined.
- Shipments from Tatneft were reportedly among those most affected, and existing constraints from halted southern Druzhba flows plus new UK sanctions tighten rerouting options and could affect volumes and quality.
