Russia's Antipinsky, Novokuibyshevsk oil refineries undergo maintenance
Russia's Antipinsky and Novokuibyshevsk oil refineries halted processing this month for planned maintenance, industry sources said.
Offline oil refineries usually facilitate crude oil exports.
Two industry sources said that the Antipinsky oil refinery in the western city of Tyumen had completely stopped oil processing since Sept. 17. It is expected to resume fuel supplies between Oct. 1 and Oct. 6.
RI-INVEST private company, which controls the plant, has not replied to a request for comment.
The plant has a capacity of 9.1 metric MMtpy (182,000 bpd).
Another two sources said that Rosneft stopped processing at its Novokuibyshevsk plant on Sept. 21. They said the refinery is expected to resume processing between Oct. 24 and Nov. 8.
The plant's production capacity is 8.3 MMtpy (166,000 bpd).
