Moscow Oil Refinery resumes operations at drone-hit unit

Gazprom Neft-owned Moscow Oil Refinery on Tuesday resumed operations at crude distillation Unit-6 (CDU-6), which was suspended following a drone attack on Sept. 1, two industry sources said on Friday.

Gazprom Neft did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on the day of the attack that several drones targeted the Moscow refinery and caused a fire at a "separate technical room" at the plant.

Sources said the refinery suspended operations at combined refining unit Euro+, that includes CDU-6.

The Euro+ unit accounts for some 50% of the plant's total prime refining capacity, as its crude distillation unit has a capacity of 6 metric MMtpy of oi.
