U.S. Treasury Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Rosenberg will visit Indonesia and Singapore next week to discuss with local authorities whether to impose price caps on Russian oil.

Gazprom burns gas so that it does not get to the Europeans on the one hand, and so that prices on the domestic market on the other do not fall, ensuring a deficit.

The Russians are obliged to pay for the Gaprom shortage.

Ukraine cuts off Russian oil supplies to Pydor’s last EU ally

Oil supplies to European countries through the territory of Ukraine stopped, announced the state Corporation “Transneft”. Ukrtransnafta, the operator of the Ukrainian section of the Druzhba pipeline, which pumps up to 1 million barrels per day to Europe, suspended transportation on August 4 due to financial sanctions against Transneft.

The Russian company sent the transit payment on July 22, but six days later received it back to its Gazprombank account. He, in turn, explained what is happening with the EU regulation on cross-border transactions with Russia.

As follows from the explanations of the GPB, the problems arose at the level of one of the European correspondent banks that did not conduct a banking operation.

As a result, the southern branch of Friendship was paralyzed, and Hungary, the only ally of the Kremlin among the EU member states, remained without oil.

The main oil region of Russia engulfed forest fires

The Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug has been leading in the number of forest fires and their area for several days. In some villages exceeded the maximum permissible concentration of carbon monoxide in the air. And the smoke from natural fires reached the neighboring Bashkiria, Chelyabinsk, Sverdlovsk and Kurgan regions, Kommersant writes. Regional authorities explain the fires established hot weather, dry soil and gusty winds.

According to the FBU “Avialesokhrada”, 64 fires were recorded in the KhMAO on the lands of the forest fund with an area of 82.2 thousand hectares. The largest figure is given by the State Remote Monitoring Information System, which uses data from satellites - 318,400 hectares.

KhMAO is the main oil-producing region of Russia. It accounts for about 42% of all-Russian production. Oil revenues account for more than 70% of the region’s budget.

“Catastrophic collapse”: the Ministry of Finance stated the collapse of budget revenues

The gas war with Europe, the collapse of the economy and the out-of-control ruble exchange rate have caused serious damage to the budget. In July, the treasury recorded a double-digit failure in revenues for all key taxes, and its revenues fell by 26%.

Despite the stable export of oil, fees of raw materials rent fell by 22%, to 771 billion rubles. The turn of the “gas valve” in the EU affected, because of which Gazprom’s exports fell to the levels of the 80s. At the end of the month, the budget collected only 57.3 billion rubles of gas duties - the minimum amount since the pandemic crisis. For comparison: in June it was 217.4 billion rubles.

Fees from the non-commodity sector of the economy fell. By 40% lower than a year earlier, VAT receipts were the second largest source of revenue for the government. Excise duties fell by 26%, to 62 billion rubles; income tax - by 32%, to 129 billion rubles. The budget has experienced a "catastrophic revenue collapse," MMI analysts say.

The ruble price of Urals becomes uncomfortable for the Russian budget.

The price of Russian oil Urals fell to the values of the beginning of the year, fixing below 4 thousand rubles. per barrel. Since the beginning of the month, oil has fallen by 17%, which was primarily due to falling prices on the world market. If ruble prices remain at the current level until the end of the year, the budget may become a deficit.

Oil production in the world in July increased by 1.4 million per day (by June) to 100.5 million b/d - the maximum since the beginning of the pandemic, according to the International Energy Agency.

Capacities in the North Sea, Canada and Kazakhstan have been operational after scheduled repairs, and Saudi Arabia has increased production following an increase in the OPEC+ quota, the IEA explains.

The IEA predicted a 20% drop in oil production in Russia

IEA forecasts (https://) /www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-08-11/iea-sees-russian-oil-output-down-20-when-eu-ban-takes-effect) drop in oil production in Russia by 20% or 2 million bpd by the beginning of 2023, when the European oil embargo will be fully implemented. The decline will begin in August after recovering to 10.8 million bpd in the last three months, the agency suggests.


Kazakhstan agreed to export oil bypassing Russia

After a Russian court stopped exporting Kazakh oil through the Caspian Pipeline Consortium in July, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayeva urgently opens up new ways to transport Kazakh oil.

Kazakhstan will start exporting some of its oil through Azerbaijan, Reuters learned. Kazakhstan’s state-owned oil company Kazmunaigas is in talks with Azerbaijan’s state-owned SOCAR on permission to sell 1.5 million tons of oil per year through an Azerbaijani pipeline that leads to the Turkish port of Ceyhan. The contract is due to be signed at the end of August.

Kazakhstan will be able to export another 3.5 million tons of oil per year in 2023 via the Azerbaijani pipeline to the Georgian port of Supsa.
Tengizchevroil, a joint venture between Chevron and KazMunayGas, began using the route through the Georgian port of Batumi.

>>/polru/54385@51041
The final contract is due to be signed at the end of August.
Currently, Kazakh oil exports mainly go through the pipelines of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), leading to Novorossiysk.

After several months of recovery in the first weeks of August, oil production in Russia fell by 3%.

At the same time, large oil producers should increase production under the OPEC+ deal and, for the most part, keep production at a stable level. The main contribution to the fall was made by small oil companies, as well as Gazprom structures.

Saudi Arabian oil company Aramco reported a record profit: for the second quarter of this year, the company earned $ 48.4 billion.

Compared to the same period last year, the net profit of the Saudi company increased by 90%.

The Saudis’ fabulous profits are the result of the sharp rise in oil prices that soared after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, so many oil and gas companies are reporting record profits these days.

Since the beginning of commercial relations between the UK and China, the trade balance has been tilted in favor of Chinese exports. While in Europe Chinese goods were considered exotic and a sign of chic, the policy of the emperors of the Qing dynasty was aimed at isolating the country from foreign influence.
In such conditions, European traders had almost no opportunity to sell their goods in China, only Russian furs and Italian glass were in demand. This forced Britain to pay for its ever-increasing purchases of Chinese goods with precious metals. In an attempt to restore balance, the British authorities sent trade delegations to the Chinese emperors, but negotiations were never successful. By the nineteenth century, however, a product that could interest China was found. It was about opium.
Despite the absolute illegality of the opium trade, it received the full support of the British government, whose goal of a positive trade balance with China was achieved in 1833.
It vaguely reminds me of the First Opium War


China cuts Russian oil purchases to minimum since war

Russian oil supplies to Asia fell to their lowest level since April 1. They are also 20 percent below their mid-April peak of 1.72 million bpd, according to Bloomberg, which tracks tankers. Even if all the oil on ships that don’t specify their destination arrives in Asia, shipments will still be the lowest since March.

India and China have become a bailout for oil workers and Russia’s budget after it invaded Ukraine and EU countries drastically cut its oil purchases and the US and UK imposed embargoes. But now the situation has changed and hits the budget.

In the spring, revenues from the export duty were at a maximum of $ 238 million (for the week to April 22), and for the week to August 12 - only $ 145 million (calculations by Bloomberg).

Oil prices fell to a minimum in six months in anticipation of lifting sanctions against Iran

Oil prices fell to the level of mid-February. Economic problems in China, Europe and the United States, undermining demand for raw materials, weigh on prices, this week added to the expectation of a deal on the nuclear deal with Iran.

The lifting of sanctions on Iran will bring an additional 1.3 million barrels per day to the market, Warren Patterson, director of commodity strategy at ING, said in the report.

The price of Brent fell on Tuesday by 2.9% to $92.34 per barrel, the lowest level since February 18, that is, before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The price of U.S. WTI crude fell 3.2 percent to $86.53. On Wednesday by 11:30 GMT quotes amounted to $91.7 and $86.1, respectively.

The European Union considers the reaction of the Iranian authorities to the proposals made last week to revive the deal in 2015 constructive, wrote Bloomberg.

"Only on coupons." Kazakhstan begins acute shortage of diesel fuel after Tokayev promises to increase supplies to Europe

Residents of Kazakhstan complained about the lack of diesel fuel at gas stations, Tengrinews writes. An acute shortage arose at the end of last week: the gas station introduced limits - no more than 40 liters per car.

One of the residents of Alma-Ata said that he could not find a diesel since August 14. The car owner has toured several large networks and a number of small gas stations - everywhere they say that there is no fuel. It was only found at one gas station, but they sell it on coupons.

Diesel in Kazakhstan is twice cheaper than in the rest of the world. Neighboring countries benefit from this. Last year, trucks traveling from Uzbekistan to Russia through Kazakhstan exported about 100-150 thousand tons per month. The government estimated the total “loss” at 20% of production.

Earlier, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev proposed to increase hydrocarbon supplies to the EU to help cope with the energy crisis.

Afghanistan in exchange for the supply of oil products and goods from Russia wants to offer Moscow minerals, as well as supplies of raisins and medicinal herbs, said in an interview with RIA Novosti Minister of industry and trade of the country Nuriddin Azizi.

By the end of the year, Kabul plans to agree with Moscow on the supply of about one million tons of gasoline and one million tons of diesel fuel. Afghanistan has historically supplied large volumes of raisins to Russia. We can supply hundreds of tons of such products to Russia. For example, prices for medicinal herbs are now very high, and Russia needs such raw materials for medicine. And we can use them in barter trade, Azizi said.

On September 20, every Alaskan will receive a share of the $3,200 in oil revenues. Such payments to the US authorities have been made every year for 40 years in a row.

The Kremlin sees Western practices as corrupt and unspiritual, so ordinary Russians have never been paid off oil revenues.

From August 31, Gazprom will stop for three days (https://t.me/rian_ru/174997) the only remaining Nord Stream turbine for maintenance. Gas supplies to Europe at this time will be completely stopped.

>> The deal of the century "gas-pipes", the contract of the century "gas-pipes" - a long-term agreement (international contract) of 1970 between the Soviet Union and the Federal Republic of Germany on the supply to the USSR of large-diameter pipes and other equipment for the construction of a gas pipeline to Western Europe with payment for supplied pipes and equipment with gas from the fields of Western Siberia.
Again. The Germans gave the Russians pipes to pump gas to the Germans.
>> The first Soviet gas came to Germany in 1973, which was very timely due to the onset of the global oil crisis.
The Germans decided to use cheap gas again.
>> Diversification of supply
To diversify gas supplies, it is necessary to build gas pipelines or terminals, no one will build for pipes.

In September, the first gas carrier will carry liquefied gas from the new Coral-Sul FLNG unit.
Expected production of 3.4 million tons of liquefied gas per year.

1. Due to the reduction of supplies to Europe, Gazprom burns 4.34 million cubic meters of gas daily and aimlessly.

2. In seven regions of the Russian Federation, the level of gasification is zero.

I think the citizens of the superpower in these seven regions are genuinely puzzled why, according to the federal agenda, an unfriendly Europe should necessarily freeze in the coming winter. In their seven non-gasified regions from Gazprom, they saw only advertising on TV, and still somehow survive

Afghanistan’s ruling Taliban have almost reached an oil and gas deal with Russia. Transactions will pass through third countries due to sanctions. This was reported by the Afghan newspaper TOLOnews, citing the Ministry of Trade and Industry of Afghanistan. The terms of the agreement have not yet been specified.

Acting Minister of Trade and Industry Nuruddin Aziz said that the money to pay for oil and gas will pass through third countries, as Russian and Afghan banks are under sanctions.

Nuruddin Aziz also added that he conveyed an official invitation to the head of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov during a visit to the region. According to him, an official agreement on the purchase of oil and gas will be signed when Minnikhanov arrives in Afghanistan. “They are ready and willing to accept our invitation and may do so soon. When they arrive in Afghanistan, we will sign official agreements, Aziz said.

Iran has assembled a “flotilla” of 100 million barrels and is ready to flood Europe with oil

Tehran holds nearly 100 million barrels in ships that have been turned into “floating storage facilities” and, in addition to the direct Iranian coast, are drifting near Signapur and the coast of China, analysts at Kpler calculated.

This oil can be sent quickly to buyers as soon as and if the oil embargo is lifted, unlike barrels that will have to be mined by investing in fields and thawing wells.

According to them, Tehran is targeting the markets of Greece, Spain, Italy and Turkey, which now buy a total of almost 900,000 barrels a day in Russia. In total, according to Goldman Sachs, due to the Russian embargo on the European market will open a niche of 1.25 million barrels per day. Iranian oil accumulated in tankers (93 million barrels as of mid-August) will be enough to close it for 2.5 months.



Russia will support Belarusian refineries that have lost Western markets, at its own expense, Kommersant learned.
Expensive diesel fuel in Belarus will be purchased through the company Rosimushchestvo and sold through the St. Petersburg exchange, the difference will be compensated from the budget.

Last week, the United States set a record for the volume of exports of oil and petroleum products, writes the Financial Times.

It exceeded 11.4 million barrels per day. Compared to the previous week, deliveries increased by almost 2 million barrels per day.

Russia will not have enough tankers to transport oil after the European embargo

So far, Russia has successfully redirected its oil from Europe, which has been gradually reducing its purchases since the start of the war in Ukraine, to Asia. But once the flow to Europe dries up completely, the transport problem will become one of the main ones: to carry oil to Asia much further, and this requires other tankers. There are not enough of these ships.

In October, about 750,000 barrels per day were delivered to Europe from Russia by sea, according to Bloomberg, which collects shipping information. The embargo will come into force on December 5. Another 650,000 barrels per day are delivered through the Druzhba pipeline. Poland and Germany intend to stop buying this oil from the new year (Hungary and Slovakia will continue to receive some volume). In total, about 1.3-1.4 million barrels per day from next year will remain ownerless.

According to the calculations of the analytical company Vortexa, if all the oil that is supplied to Europe is transferred to “friendly” countries (this is primarily China, India and Turkey, which have greatly increased its purchases since March), 219 tankers of different sizes will be needed. This is three times more than was used to transport Russian oil in October. The shortage of ice-class tankers for exporting oil through the Baltic Sea in winter will be particularly acute. Even if they are used only to transport goods to the Atlantic Ocean for transshipment to supertankers, it will be difficult for Russia to maintain exports at the same level.

In Russia from December 1, gas prices will increase by 8.5 percent

Promised that the last money for gas will give the Germans, and without pants in the end still left residents of Voronezh, Saratov and other cities of the gas superpower

BP yesterday lifted Mozambique's first ever LNG cargo from the Eni-operated Coral Sul floating LNG facility. Headed for the Suez Canal for supply probably into Europe as prices there still at a premium to JKM. Big day for Mozambique, now the world's newest LNG exporter.

Yesterday, British Petroleum shipped Mozambique’s first LNG shipment from the floating Coral Sul LNG rig operated by Eni (Italy). Sent to the Suez Canal for deliveries, probably to Europe, as prices there are still higher than those of JKM. A big day for Mozambique, the world’s newest LNG exporter.

Today, a terminal for receiving liquid gas has opened in Wilhelmshaven, Germany. Capacity - 7 billion cubic meters per year. The dependence on Russian gas is now over.
You’re drinking your morning coffee, and Gazprom is almost dead.


From December 1, Turkey will close the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits to ships carrying oil if they do not have insurance coverage. According to Bloomberg, the Turkish Ministry of Transport sent such a circular to ship owners.

It will become almost impossible for Russian oil workers to obtain insurance under the new sanctions regime: from December 5, it will be available only to tankers that transport oil at a price below the established ceiling.

? We feel a strong desire to hear the opinions of Dmitry Anatolyevich, Vladimir Rudolfovich and Margarita Simonovna on this issue.

Moscow. November 18th. INTERFAX - President Vladimir Pydor held a telephone conversation with Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday, Pydor's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
Erdogan thanked Pydor for a constructive approach to extending the Black Sea grain initiative, Anadolu news agency reported. The leaders also discussed bilateral relations and regional issues.

Vladimir Vladimirovich tried to somehow influence Recep Tayyipovich on the issue of passing tankers with Russian oil through the Bosporus and the Dardanelles, but in the end “the leaders discussed bilateral relations and regional issues.”

THC Double Yat

Contrary to President Pydor’s predictions that oil prices will soar to the skies, the black gold market is greeting the European oil embargo against Russia with the strongest price collapse in two months.

At auction on Friday, the cost of futures for the North Sea grade Brent for the first time since the beginning of October fell below $ 90 per barrel, and American WTI crude broke through the $ 80 mark.

Since the beginning of the week, oil prices have fallen by more than 10%, despite the fact that from December 5, the European Union will refuse sea supplies from Russia, and the G7 countries will introduce a price ceiling. At the same time, insurance of tankers carrying oil that costs more will be banned.

A faggot at the Eastern Economic Forum in October threatened that Russia would cut off supplies to countries that would join the ceiling mechanism. According to the IEA, 1.4 million Russian barrels may leave the market daily - such a volume will not be able to be redirected to Asia. In July, Pydor predicted the fate of the gas market, where prices jumped by hundreds of percent in the summer. But that's not happening. Quotes fell to $85.81 and $77.23 - lows for two months.


Brent is already losing 5%, falling below $83 after the WSJ reported that Saudi Arabia and other producers in OPEC+ are discussing an increase in production of up to 500 thousand barrels per day


QatarEnergy has signed an agreement to supply liquefied natural gas to Chinese company Sinopec for 27 years.
What about a reliable supplier from Russia? No business again


Ukraine is preparing to raise the fee for pumping through the Druzhba pipeline by another 18%, citing increased costs due to damage to energy infrastructure during the fighting. Since the beginning of the year, the tariff will increase by more than 50% - this money would more than be enough to autonomously power the entire pipe, the expert of Kommersant notes.

The Japanese government said on Friday that oil from the Sakhalin-2 energy project will be excluded from the policy of capping Russian oil prices, which is due to be introduced in early December by an international coalition led by the United States.

The cost of delivering Russian oil from Ust-Luga to India by tankers, excluding insurance, increased from 4% in February to 15% of the cargo value. And that's just the beginning.

European authorities have strengthened the protection of pipelines after the explosions on the “Nord streams”, writes The Wall Street Journal. Protection of oil and gas infrastructure on the water is provided by warships, underwater drones and military aviation, and military, police and even special forces are stationed on ground facilities. Additional security measures are also taken by energy companies, the publication indicates.

- The Kremlin will ban the sale of Russian oil to countries that have imposed a ceiling on its prices, learned Bloomberg. There will be a presidential decree for that. According to the source, under the ban will be any mention of the marginal price in contracts for oil or oil products from Russia, as well as shipment of oil to any countries that maintain the price ceiling. Russian authorities have repeatedly warned that they will stop oil supplies to countries that have joined the price ceiling.


The United States allowed Chevron to import oil from Venezuela to the United States.

The corresponding license of the Office for Foreign Assets Control of the US Treasury Department was issued after the Venezuelan authorities announced the resumption of negotiations with the opposition organization Unitary Platform.

One lever is blocked. There's gas left.

Buyers of Russian oil demand more and more discounts – Bloomberg

Late last week, Russia’s flagship Urals crude was trading at the export terminal at about $52 a barrel, meaning a $33.28 or 39 percent discount on Brent crude. This discount costs Russian oil exporters about $ 4 billion a month in lost profits, and also reduces tax revenues from exports.

EU countries have not come to an agreement, but the price has already fallen below the ceiling

With the Russian oil price ceiling without much change: allied countries continued to argue over a specific figure at the weekend (maximum $65 per barrel Urals), Poland continued to insist that it was too good for Russia. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky spoke for $30-$40. The day before the oil embargo comes into force on December 5, Russia will hold consultations with OPEC+ members, including Saudi Arabia.


The price of Russian oil broke through the “pain threshold” of the budget: the government will miss a trillion rubles

The collapse of Russian oil prices, which lowered the cost of a barrel of Urals to the levels of the end of 2020, promises a new “pain” to the federal budget, which is made with a deficit of 3 trillion rubles for next year.

Since the beginning of November, the main Russian grade of oil has fallen by almost 30% - twice as much as the North Sea brand Brent, and at the end of last week it cost $ 52 per barrel when shipped from the ports of Novorossiysk and Primorsk.

The few remaining buyers - China, India and Turkey - are demanding discounts already reaching almost 40%. As a result, Russian oil is trading 26% below the level laid down in the budget-2023 – $ 70.1 per barrel.

If the current oil prices and the dollar-ruble exchange rate remain, the budget will not receive up to 1 trillion rubles of oil and gas revenues, analysts estimate Rosbank. In addition to more expensive oil, the projects of the treasury and laid a weaker ruble, they remind: 68.3 rubles per dollar against 61.02 rubles now.

Thus, the budget deficit may increase to 4 trillion rubles. As a result, every seventh ruble that the government plans to spend (a total of 29 trillion) will remain without tax revenue coverage.

So far this year, every Alaskan has received a share of oil revenues of $3,200. Such payments in the United States have been made every year for 40 years in a row.

The Kremlin considers Western practices corrupt and anti-human, so ordinary Russians never received payments from oil revenues



The EU reached a compromise on the introduction of a ceiling on the price of Russian oil at $60 per barrel – Reuters.

Poland officially approved the G7 deal to limit oil prices from Russia in the amount of $ 60 per barrel with a review mechanism.

Russia has assembled a fleet of hundreds of old tankers to transport oil bypassing restrictions

Russia, through direct or indirect purchases, has assembled a fleet of at least 103 tankers to circumvent Western restrictions on Russian oil sales following its invasion of Ukraine. According to the Financial Times, citing shipping broker Braemar and consulting company Rystad, Moscow is going to keep the flow of oil to India, China and Turkey — countries that will become the largest buyers of Russian hydrocarbons after the introduction of the oil embargo.

By buying its own vessels, Russia is trying to circumvent EU and G7 sanctions. The restrictions would bar insurers such as Lloyd’s of London from servicing ships carrying Russian oil if it were sold without regard to the price ceiling.

Against this background, the number of anonymous or new buyers of 12-15-year-old tankers has increased dramatically. Such vessels are expected to be disposed of in the next few years.

Earlier, the G7 countries and Australia, following the European Union, agreed on the introduction of a ceiling on Russian oil prices at $60 per barrel. The restriction implies an adjustment mechanism: from mid-January, the restrictions can be changed every two months to keep the price of Russian oil 5% below the market.

>> The price ceiling, which was introduced on December 5, prohibits tankers loading Russian oil from insuring goods transported in the West if the price of oil is above the established limit price of $ 60. After the restrictions were imposed, the Turkish authorities demanded proof that the oil was insured.

Kazakhstan may start supplying Germany with oil from January 2023.

The Kazakh national company KazMunayGas (KMG) reported that it is considering the possibility of sending a trial batch to Germany early next year. Kazakh oil will go to Germany via the Druzhba pipeline going through Russia.

Will they mix Russian and Kazakh oil?
Will the faggot block the Kazakhs?

The delay in the release of the decree of the President of the Russian Federation on retaliatory measures to the introduction by unfriendly countries of the ceiling of prices for Russian oil is explained by Rosneft’s attempt to obtain exclusive rights to export all Russian oil, as well as take control of pipelines from Transneft. At the same time, direct lobbying efforts, according to some reports, are not enough to convince the government. Rosneft is the most sanctioned and not the most efficient of Russian companies, more than 40% of its capital is de jure owned by foreigners, and the “position” of an all-Russian oil exporter opens up political, not only economic horizons. This is due to the recent activity of experts and media close to Rosneft, who tried to accuse Lukoil of exporting oil products to Ukraine from Bulgaria on the basis of the 9th package of EU sanctions. The task is to accuse Russian companies of violating national interests. Lukoil has already denied such speculation, but other companies apparently need to prepare.

However, the real problem is that the presidential decree has not yet come out, the price of contracts is falling before our eyes, and European officials can also rejoice in plans to introduce a single operator – sanctions on it will be introduced and tracked much easier.

Germany and Poland submitted applications for pumping Russian oil through the Druzhba pipeline - the countries swore that they would refuse such supplies from Russia, but Transneft received new orders from them for 2023

That was the conversation

Greek shipping companies are returning to the Russian market amid falling oil exports.

The participation of Europe and the Group of Seven countries in the trade of Russian oil is declining as new trade schemes emerge. This is observed in the first month of the Russian oil price cap.

Recall that from December 5, 2022, the so-called “ceiling of prices” for Russian oil at $ 60 per barrel began to operate, such a decision was approved by the EU Council.

Greek tanker operators have returned to shipping Russian crude oil. According to Kpler cargo, ships owned or operated by Greek companies including TMS Tankers, Dynacom and Metrostar have loaded Russian Urals crude in the ports of Ust-Luga and Primorsk over the past two weeks.

European shipowners, operators and insurers do not violate EU and US sanctions as long as Russian oil is sold below the $60 cap.

The low market price of Russian Urals crude (now around $50/bbl) has paved the way for European shipping companies and insurers to stay on the market. The price of Urals crude oil peaked at $110 a barrel in March last year.

According to an analyst at CREA (Center for Energy and Clean Air Research, based in Finland), much more crude oil has started shipping over the past week and a half. Volumes appear to have recovered slightly from a sharp drop in the first weeks after the price cap was imposed.

The analyst notes that it is not yet clear whether traders have successfully agreed on prices. But the fact that some of the vessels involved in such shipping are new indicates they are likely to be involved in legitimate trade.

A few months before the price cap was imposed, there was a brisk trade in oil through old tankers for short-term and high-yield trade.

Older ships in this case were seen as less financial risk if they were arrested while complying with the sanctions.

Bloomberg reported that crude oil supplies from Russia fell to the lowest level in the last four weeks of 2022 after the introduction of a price cap. This was affected by the fact that the final terms of the price cap were only made public three days before they began to take effect, making it difficult to "fix" cargoes in December.

In Yakutia, frosts up to -60 ° C are expected, in the Irkutsk region - up to -58 ° C, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory - up to -55 ° C - Hydrometeorological Center.

Abnormal cold will also come to the Orenburg, Penza and Saratov regions.

Chinese VLCC heading to Asia after loading Russian oil

Lauren II (298,600-dwt) is headed to Asia with 2 million barrels of crude oil. The tanker comes from Ceuta, Spain, where there have been three shipments of Russian crude Urals by the STS (ship-to-ship) method over the past three weeks. It showed a new pattern of trade after the European ban.

Loading of the Lauren II in December and January took place without the AIS shutdown, demonstrating the normalization of trade. Last year, similar cargo operations were carried out near the Azores. Now - off the coast of Ceuta and Greece. The reason is called weather conditions.

According to analyst Kpler, Lauren II is expected to arrive at its destination in Asia in mid-February. He also speculated that several aframaxs loaded in Russian ports were heading to the same area of Spain for STS loading with Chinese-owned tankers already waiting in the area for weeks. Such transportation organization seems to be the most effective. Aframax can return to Russian ports, while VLCCs make the most economic sense for long-haul flights to China.

The Lauren II is one of four tankers operated by companies in the port city of Dalian. The others are Progress V (314,000-dwt), Natalina 7 (299,000-dwt) and Monica S (305,000-dwt).

Transneft confirmed (https://tass.ru/ekonomika/16937267) an attempt to shell the Novozybkovo oil pumping station of the Druzhba oil pipeline in the Bryansk region near the border with Ukraine.

Yesterday evening [January 31] an attempt was made to shell the Novozybkovo oil pumping station. The station is used during peak loads on the Druzhba oil pipeline in a single mode. The last time the NPS was turned on for a few hours and it was last year. As a result of hitting the projectile on the territory of the station there are no victims, the damage is eliminated by the repair team. The Druzhba oil pipeline is operating normally, said Igor Demin, the company’s representative.

On the shelling of the station from Ukraine today reported (https://t.me/breakingmash/41590) profile Telegram channels. Presumably, a tactical ballistic missile "Tochka-U" fell near the station, for some time disrupting its power supply.

Druzhba itself operates at reduced capacity after the introduction of the EU oil embargo, deliveries go only along the southern branch to landlocked Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. This branch after Novozybkov enters Belarus, and then passes through the territory of Ukraine.

Ukraine has traditionally served as a key transit route for Russian gas exports to Europe, but its sovereignty has created an uncomfortable relationship between Ukraine and Russia.

After all, gas transit through the territory of another country must be paid.

Approximate prices for transit per 1000 cubic meters per 100 kilometers:

Yamal-Europe gas pipeline
Poland takes $1.05
- Belarus takes $1.75
Amount: $2.8

о Nord Stream gas pipeline
Amount: $1.67

и "Ukrainian transit"
Amount: $2.66

For example, in 2020, Russia paid Ukraine $2.06 billion for gas transit through its territory.

Today, transit is regulated by an agreement on transportation of 40 billion m3 / year, signed by Russia and Ukraine in December 2019 for the period 2021-2024.

Moreover, the difference between imports from Russia/Belarus and Ukrainian exports to other countries is:
    Oct.22: 84 million m.3
November 22: -33 million m.3
Dec.22: -234 million m.3
►January 23: -23 million m.3

Russia imports less than it sells to its European neighbors.

To accuse that a lot of gas is coming from Russia, and less is coming to Europe.

Ukraine adds its produced gas to exports and, according to the transit agreement, pumps Russian gas to further buyers.

In fact, Ukraine fulfills part of the signed agreement and allows gas to pass through its territory from Russia to Europe and receives money for it.

Although it is obvious that the volume of transit will fall more and more.

And no other bypass gas pipelines can replace these volumes.

Those who believe that Russia has replaced pipeline gas with liquefied gas and sends it by sea are mistaken.

Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said that Russia in March will voluntarily reduce oil production by 500 thousand barrels per day. But it will not sell oil to those who directly or indirectly adhere to the price ceiling, Novak said.

Russia could attack Norwegian gas fields if the conflict between Moscow and NATO escalates, according to the country's Police Security Agency (PST). While the PST doubts that Russia will decide on acts of sabotage in Norway in 2023, but this may change.

It all depends on how much the escalation in Russia’s relations with the West increases. This is the first time since the beginning of the war that Norwegian police have warned of the danger from Moscow.

Norway became concerned about the safety of its oil and gas facilities after the explosions on the Russian gas pipeline Nord Stream 1 on September 26.

India is fully self-sufficient in diesel, says a source from among the heads of refineries. And buying Russian fuel for re-export is unprofitable due to the excess profit tax in India, he explains.
Therefore, India is ready to buy only the cheapest Russian oil products.


Gazprom increased gas pumping to Europe through Ukraine to 35.8 million cubic meters

The current application for pumping through the gas transmission system of Ukraine exceeded the maximum daily value for the last month.

Increased pumping allowed lower exchange prices for Russian pipeline gas in Europe.

Oil production in Russia in the first half of February continues to grow and increased by 1% compared to the average level of January due to high demand for Urals thanks to significant discounts to Brent, despite plans to reduce production in March.



Italian Industry Minister Adolfo Urso said: The two regasification complexes in Piombino and Ravenna, which will be commissioned before the summer, will produce the same 10 billion cubic meters of gas per year. This is how much we imported from Russia last year.

Gas supply from Russia to Armenia will be temporarily stopped due to the blockage of the main gas pipeline “North Caucasus – Transcaucasia”

According to the press service of Gazprom-Armenia, in order to prevent emergency situations and provide gas to consumers, from February 18, the supply of a number of gas stations will be temporarily stopped.

The faggots fucked up their gas pipeline. Pigs are pigs


"Like the 1990s." Russian oil workers caught selling oil at fake prices and withdrawing $1 billion a month offshore

Western sanctions against the Russian oil industry, including the EU embargo and the “price ceiling” at $60 per barrel, opened up opportunities for Russian companies to enrich themselves. /www.moscowtimes.cloud/2023/02/17/kak-v-1990e-rossiiskih-neftyanikov-poimali-prodazhe-nefti-po-feikovim-tsenam-i-vivode-v-ofshori-1-mlrd-v-den-a34492), not seen since the chaos of the 1990s.

The largest buyer of Russian oil, India, which takes every third export barrel from Russian ports, pays significantly more for raw materials from Russia than it declares.

Urals quotes are aimed at the European market, where Russian oil is no longer sold. And in the main market - in India - the real price is $70-75.

Russia sells 1.5 million barrels a day to India. With such volumes, the difference between the real price of oil and the declared one is equal to revenue of $ 1 billion per month.

Buyers of Russian gas in Europe filed lawsuits against Gazprom for $ 15 billion

Cutting off gas supplies to European countries in an attempt to “freeze” the once largest customers in the gas market could cost Gazprom dearly.

Following the German Uniper and RWE, the lawsuit against Gazprom due to shortages of gas was filed by the largest energy company in France Engie.

According to Reuters, Engie initiated arbitration proceedings against Gazprom Export and demands to recognize the Russian company’s obligations under long-term gas contracts as unfulfilled.

Engie also wants to get from the export “daughter” Gazprom pays fines and compensation for losses incurred after gas pumping to France stopped in July 2022. “Gazprom” explained the “turn of the valve” unpaid gas, as it demanded that payments be made “in rubles” – to the account in Gazprombank.

The total amount of claims against Gazprom reached about $15 billion, BCS analyst Ronald Smith estimated.

The amount of Engie’s claims, not officially disclosed, he estimates at $ 1.3 billion, based on the fact that the company received 2 billion cubic meters of gas under long-term contracts.

A record lawsuit against Gazprom - for $ 12.5 billion - was filed by the German Uniper, which bought 20 billion cubic meters a year. As the largest importer of Russian gas in Germany and one of the investors of the Nord Stream 2 project, Uniper was on the verge of bankruptcy and was de facto nationalized after being left without a key supplier and forced to buy fuel at soaring prices in the spot market. The German government spent 29 billion euros to save the company.

There is a Russian spirit, there Rus smells: the media found a Russian trace in the explosions of “Nord streams” at the bottom of the Baltic sea

A few days before the explosions on the gas pipelines “Nord stream-1” and “Nord stream-2” near them were Russian warships, according to the German portal t-online.

According to the publication, the group of ships had the necessary equipment to install explosive devices.

On September 27, several gas leaks were found on the Russian pipelines Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2. U.S. President Joe Biden said the pipelines were likely undermined by Russia.


The United States came in first place in terms of oil supplies to the European Union, and Russia’s share fell from 31% to 4%.

The result of the “multi-move genius geopolitics” is clear: Russia is simply thrown out of the richest market, which brought in hundreds of billions of dollars.

Russian oil workers faced new difficulties in selling oil to India, which after the outbreak of the war and the introduction of Western sanctions became the largest market for barrels from Russia.

Bank of Baroda, India’s second-largest state-owned bank, has blocked payments for oil from Russia since April if its price exceeds the ceiling set by the G7 countries, according to three sources familiar with the situation.

According to them, some Indian refineries used this bank to buy Russian raw materials through the United Arab Emirates with payment in dirhams. A number of deals were priced above $60, the sources said, but the practice will now be ended.

According to the Russian Ministry of Finance, in March, the main export grade of Russian oil workers Urals was sold for export at an average of $47.8. This price does not take into account transportation costs.

How much Indian customers actually pay for oil is shrouded in mystery: according to Argus, the average quotes in India’s northwestern ports in March were $61.7 per barrel, and in February exceeded $66. Goldman Sachs analysts based on Indian customs statistics estimated this level even higher - about $70.

Reuters sources claim that the Russian Sokol and ESPO Blend varieties have been traded for $60 in recent days. And after the rise of global oil prices this week, Russian barrels are likely to break the price ceiling, they believe.

As part of efforts to balance the market, Russia will voluntarily reduce supplies to oil markets by 500,000 barrels per day in August by reducing exports by a specified amount, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said.

Saudi Arabia during July will voluntarily reduce oil production by another 1 million barrels per day (bpd) in addition to the earlier decision to reduce production by 500 thousand bpd. Thus, in July, the total volume of production reduction by the kingdom will be 1.5 million b/d, and the level of production itself will be about 9 million b/d.



The cost of Russian oil for India has reached the lowest level.

For a barrel of oil, including shipping costs, buyers have to pay $68.17. In May, this figure was $70.17, and a year ago it exceeded $100.

According to the Moscow Fuel Association, the cost of a liter of 95th gasoline at gas stations has increased over the past four weeks by 1.08 rubles, to 55.57 rubles per liter.

Deliveries of Russian oil to India in January-May 2023 increased by 11 times compared to the same period last year and amounted to almost 37 million tons, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of India.

Russia remains the largest supplier of oil to India, followed by Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

Bulgaria prohibits the supply of Russian oil to the Lukoil plant in Burgas.

This may force the company to sell the asset, LUKOIL warns of risks for the Bulgarian fuel market.

Over the past month, the United States has imposed sanctions against five tankers that violated the price ceiling set for Russian oil at $60 per barrel. After that, the ships stopped delivering oil to consumers, writes (https:/) /www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-22/what-happened-to-five-tankers-sanctioned-for-russia-violations) Bloomberg, which tracked the movements and location of the ships. Of the sanctioned tankers, four are associated with Sovcomflot (the name of one of them, SCF Primorye, even contains the acronym SCF – Sovcomflot). Another one belongs to a Turkish company. The NS Century tanker has been carrying oil to India regularly in recent months. But after the imposition of sanctions against him a week ago, he drifted off the southern coast of Sri Lanka. India’s General Shipping Authority said it was awaiting guidance from the government on whether the vessel would be allowed to unload its oil. India has recently limited oil purchases from Russia: the share of the latter fell in October to a minimum in the last nine months, according to Reuters calculations. Cumulative Indian imports rose by 8.4% compared to September to 4.7 million barrels, but at the expense of OPEC countries, whose share increased from 50% to 54%. The share of Russia, from which India bought 1.56 million barrels (1.2% more than in September), decreased from 35% to 33%.


Russia’s revenues from oil exports fell by 17% in November, the IEA estimated. The Agency also believes that the share of OPEC+ in the world market in 2023 will fall to 51%.

That means we have three down. Other waves are a little more optimistic, but we are still finishing the downward momentum, which will be either the first in the third in brackets according to Prechtor, or the wave (C) on another markup. Now we are correcting in the four, here the markups coincide.

oil has been fucking volatile for the last 20 years, which i strongly doubt that wave analysis applies to it now. there is pure manipulation at the global level. ifsential, what we can confidently say is that the average brent price is 80 per barrel. and there is no reason that it will be long-term higher or lower than this price. the world needs oil. below it definitely will not go. and higher will only be if the current cheap fields are exhausted. i.e., what we have seen in the last 20 years for oil we will see in the next 20 years.

>>/polru/376427@51041
It should be remembered that more oil is traded than it is produced, even fundamental analysts sometimes say this. You remember how in the murky, she went to minus $40, because someone was just looking at futures for resale, not going to take her anywhere. This is what happens when speculators face reality. So the price is more dependent on the sentiment, and he with sufficient liquidity we predict, on a large timeframe at least. Another thing is that there is a correction for correction, which is why it looks so chaotic.


>>/polru/376747@51041
I do not notice, stealing from the above, it is difficult in fact, because when the momentum, then everything is simple, but the markets spend most of the time in corrections, and the correction to build a fibonach on the goal can only rely on the existing movement, otherwise there is not a goal and resistance. I do not trade oil, but the price of oil directly depends on the ability of faggots to poison my life, so we can say that with practical. Forex trading Euro-dollar and a little crypto.

I just go into divergence, and at the first opportunity, I move the stopper to zero, and then to plus. Superposizi is complicated, niponyatny, and where I steal (elliottwavetrader.net) usually give 2-3 alternating markups, so I take them into account, but only as the levels of disability (where to move the stopwig), after which it makes no sense to sit in a position further. As far as I'm concerned, elliot means that as you move forward, it allows you to rule out handicapped markings.




>>/polru/376806@51041
And the fact that .786 so famously flew this type of norms, in my experience, when so sharply in a disabled person pushes, it is better to wait on the sidelines for confirmation. And only then, after the impulse on the second wave of correction and divergence, the approach to the position to look for.

Since the eighth of December? Either the first in the third or the fifth in the first. You can see the markings there. In my opinion, I do not notice, I steal from more experienced people, I can only feel approximately. I feel that it was painfully quick to go, for correction, in general, initially on those markings, this movement was wave B in the circle, I even thought to enter the shorts but I did not wait for confirmation. Trading and markup as for me generally different things, so I do not bother with drawing, only fibonachu draw.

Russia’s shadow tanker fleet, built to transport oil bypassing the price ceiling, is under threat. Sanctions imposed on several ships and their owners may be just the beginning.

The United States is already imposing sanctions. They were first imposed in October on UAE-based Lumber Marine SA and its SCF Primorye tanker, as well as Turkey’s Ice Pearl Navigation Corp and its Yasa Golden Bosphorus tanker. The vessels entered Russian ports and carried Russian oil, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) said. By the end of the year, there are 11 such tankers on the US sanctions list.

Under the same scheme, the U.S. could impose sanctions on another 100 shadow tankers, including three-quarters of Sovcomflot tankers (it is believed to have 80 tankers), writes Craig Kennedy, a fellow at Harvard University’s Davis Center and an expert on the Russian oil industry.

The price ceiling was introduced by the G7 countries, the EU and Australia from December 5, 2022 simultaneously with the EU embargo on the purchase of Russian oil (a similar mechanism was introduced for Russian oil products two months later). Companies from these countries are forbidden to participate in any way in the supply of oil purchased from Russia for more than $ 60 per barrel (transport, insure, credit, etc.), including registration. Before the war, Russia used mostly European tankers and Western insurance, with 90% of all ships in the world using the services of the London-based International Group of Insurers Clubs (IG P&I).

The EU embargo is difficult to circumvent – there are exceptions, but there are almost no loopholes. It can only be broken. The ceiling allows you to supply oil and petroleum products more expensive if you use your own fleet, and insurance and other services - only from companies registered in Russia or third countries.

This shadow fleet is capable of carrying about half of Russia’s oil. The other half is still transported by Western tankers with insurance and other services from countries that have supported the ceiling (but there may be violations – it is very difficult to check the real price of the deal).

The coalition is not watching Russian tankers, but its own companies and individuals. The U.S. ceiling guidance states that any market participants who “buy Russian oil or Russian petroleum products above the price limit and knowingly rely on U.S. service providers ... potentially violate [price ceiling sanctions] ... and could be subject to OFAC enforcement measures.”

That is, if the company does not interact with the American, then sanctions are unlikely to be imposed against it.

That seems to be the case. Sovcomflot came under sanctions at the beginning of the war and was cut off from Western services. IG P&I has cancelled his insurance. To replace came the state RNPK (daughter of the Central Bank). European banks demanded the repayment of loans. It seemed that ties with the coalition were completely severed.

However, all the tankers under US sanctions have such connections. Of the 11 tankers (including 6 Sovcomflot) are flying the Liberian flag, another is flying the Marshall Islands flag, and the rest are flying the Russian flag. “Both Liberia and the Marshall Islands outsource ship registration operations to private companies. In both cases, these companies are based in Virginia, USA, Kennedy said.

That is, if a ship wants to receive the flag of Liberia or the Marshall Islands, it will need registration services and provide them to companies headquartered in the United States. There is no other option: the registrar is one.

But there are many tankers registered in this way in the Russian shadow fleet.

It appears that Kremlin officials neglected sanctioned hygiene and allowed vessels to use the services of Western firms. That’s how these tankers came under OFAC’s radar, Kennedy wrote.

(44.75 KB, 768x576)
How many ships in the shadow fleet is unknown. The numbers are 100 to 600. Kennedy himself thinks there are 250.

According to him, more than 95% of the ships of the shadow fleet are registered in seven countries. The flag of Liberia is used by 88 tankers, including 55 by Sovcomflot. The Marshall Islands are the least popular of the top 7 countries, with 23 tankers. A total of 111 ships, or 40 percent of the fleet that Moscow painstakingly and cost-effectively assembled to circumvent oil price restrictions, Kennedy said.

The traps don't end there. 34 tankers of the shadow fleet had insurance issued in the United States for liability for the oil spill, the expert estimates. Half of the oil from the Far Eastern port of Kozmino in the first quarter of 2023 was sent by ships owned by coalition countries or had insurance companies from these countries (or both), experts of the Kyiv School of Economics wrote.

This increases the number of ships facing sanctions to 145. In addition, sanctions can be extended further down the chain to sellers and buyers of Russian oil, any intermediaries, at least somehow interacted with them.

This is surprising, writes Kennedy, because the Russian Navy should have been inaccessible to sanctions. Tankers delivering oil and petroleum products to China, India and Turkey, their insurers, payment systems and any other related companies should not interact with companies from the countries of the coalition ceiling. Then they could carry fuel that was sold above the established limits.

All this increases the risks for the trade of Russian oil, which Russia will have to compensate with money – one can assume an increase in transaction costs, an increase in the discount in the price of Russian oil relative to Brent and eventually a decrease in budget revenues, Kennedy argues.

Where shall we go?
Sanctioned tankers are scattered around the world. NS Century was on its way to India when it was placed on the sanctions list. The Indian port refused to accept it. The tanker is drifting in the Laccadive Sea. Kazan and Ligovsky Prospect docked in Chinese ports, MarineTraffic shows. HS Atlantica stands in the Sea of Marmara.

The Turkish tanker was chartered by the American Exxon Mobil at the time of the sanctions. But OFAC had no claims against the company as it chartered the vessel months after shipping Russian crude. The tanker was allowed to deliver the cargo to Houston, then it retreated to the Gulf of Mexico, and now, according to MarineTraffic, is in the Mexican port of Altamira. The remaining ships go to Russia: Viktor Bakaev, SCF Primorye to the Black Sea, NS Champion to Ust-Luga.



India, which has become the largest buyer of offshore oil shipments from Russia, has not purchased Russian premium grade ESPO oil for two months - This follows from Kpler data



At the beginning of the year, accidents occurred at several refineries, which led to a complete or partial suspension of the work of plants:

On January 12, LUKOIL reported an “incident” at the Nizhny Novgorod NORSI refinery (the company did not specify what exactly happened), the work of the process plant was suspended;
on the night of January 21, a fire occurred at the NOVATEK terminal in Ust-Luga, the company called it the cause of external influence;
on the night of January 25, a vacuum plant on the territory of the Tuapse refinery caught fire;
On February 3, there was a fire of petroleum products at the Volgograd refinery of LUKOIL;
On February 9, a fire occurred at the Ilsky Refinery in the Krasnodar Territory at night.

Russian Energy Minister Nikolai Shulginov reported on February 20 that the Ilsky Refinery had already returned to work, shipments of petroleum products at Novatek’s enterprise in Ust-Luga resumed, and the return to work of the remaining refineries would take several months. We can do it again! [/spoiler]


Russia began direct oil supplies to North Korea in defiance of UN sanctions, further strengthening ties between authoritarian regimes.

At least 5 North Korean tankers set off this month for oil products from the port of Vostochny in Russia's Far East, according to satellite imagery provided by the British think tank Royal United Services Institute.

Russia is increasing imports of petroleum products from Belarus to cover the deficit in the domestic market, which was formed as a result of successful attacks by SBU UAVs and GUR of Ukraine against Russian refineries and oil depots.

Reuters claims that the Mozyr and Novopolotsk refineries can somewhat increase oil refining.

Куйбышевский НПЗ Роснефти полностью остановился после пожара 23 марта — источники Reuters.

MOSCOW, March 28 (Reuters) - Russia's Kuibyshev mid-sized oil refinery near the city of Samara on the Volga river has halted all production following damage from a Ukrainian drone attack last week, two industry sources told Reuters on Thursday.

Last year, the Kuibyshev plant was Russia's 29th biggest oil refinery by output, accounting for 1.34% of total oil refining throughput, having processed 3.687 million tons of crude oil.
It produced 624,000 tons of gasoline (1.42% of Russia's total), 1.187 million tons of diesel (1.35%), and 1.040 million tons of fuel oil (2.56%).

https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/russias-kuibyshev-oil-refinery-standstill-after-drone-attack-last-week-2024-03-28/

US sanctions prevent Russia from repairing its refineries after Ukrainian attacks.

When on January 4, Lukoil engineers discovered a turbine breakdown at its largest oil refinery, Nizhny Novgorodnefteorgsintez, it turned out that it was impossible to find spare parts for it due to sanctions. The company OUP, engaged in its service, left Russia two years ago. The catalytic cracking unit, used to convert heavy hydrocarbons into gasoline, has not been operating since the start of the year. As a result, the Lukoil refinery, the fourth largest in Russia, reduced gasoline production by 40%.

This is just an example of the problems faced by the entire energy industry during the war. The situation is aggravated by the attacks of Ukrainian drones – they could disable more than 15% of the capacity of the refinery. While the U.S. has (unofficially) asked Ukraine not to hit factories, it is such attacks that do more damage to the Pidori economy than all sanctions.

Russia in the first quarter of 2024 continued to increase oil supplies to Uzbekistan, displacing Kazakh raw materials, follows from the data of the Argus review “Caspian Market”.

Imports from Russia increased in January-March to the same period of 2023 by 7 times to 75,000 tons against the background of a decrease in oil supplies from Kazakhstan by 26% to 13,400 tons.

The UK continues to import record volumes of oil products from Russia using a loophole in the law.

Despite an official ban on direct imports of Russian oil from December 2022, products processed in third countries such as India, China and Turkey are not subject to this ban. In 2023, the UK imported a record £2.2bn of refined oil from these countries.

Because of the crisis in the Red Sea, the EU countries had to return to energy resources from Russia, writes the Turkish Yeni Şafak.

Russian supplies accounted for almost a quarter of gas purchased by Europeans in January-March. Imports of blue fuel from Russia increased by 23% and exceeded seven billion cubic meters.

govnashenko said that the Belarusian opposition and its curators “plan to seize the Kobrin district, declare a new government and appeal to NATO about the introduction of troops.”

That's where the attack came from!

In June 2024, imports of Russian Urals crude oil to India reached a historical record, amounting to 1.6 million barrels per day, which is 13% more than last year.

On behalf of Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, the Ministry of Energy and the Federal Antimonopoly Service will monitor the prices of gasoline and diesel fuel at gas stations.

The purpose of the measure is to prevent prices from rising above the level of inflation. The decision was made at a meeting with the participation of representatives of key departments and organizations. The main topic of discussion was the current situation in the oil products market.

slave oil companies faced a sharp drop in demand for their barrels from the main buyer — China.

At the end of July, oil supplies from Russia to China fell by 7.4% year-on-year, and their total volume - 1.76 million barrels per day - was the lowest since at least the end of last year, follows from Chinese customs statistics.

рабсийские нефтеперерабатывающие заводы в августе резко увеличили экспорт мазута, который теперь стремится к рекордным значениям этого года, узнал «КоммерсантЪ». 

За первые 23 дня месяца РФ экспортировала 1,1 млн баррелей в сутки, что на 200 тыс. тонн превышает объем поставок в июле. Крупнейшими импортерами рабсийского мазута стали Китай, Индия, а также Саудовская Аравия, которая использует этот нефтепродукт для нужд электрогенерации.

Нардеп Украины Артем Дмитрук, который выехал за границу после объявления подозрения, заявил о попытке похищения его семьи в Европе.

«Мою семью пытались похитить! Мою мать, жену и двух маленьких детей вчера пытались украсть из гостиницы в Европе. После первой неудачной попытки и принятых нами мер они повторили попытку уже в аэропорту! Слава Богу, помогли добрые люди, подключили охранную фирму, которая сработала на отлично!» — пишет он.

Это потрясающе.
И правда, а кто мешал самой Пидорской рабсии построить СВОЁ благополучие на СВОИХ ресурсах?

Как так получилось, что всё «благополучие» этой страны сосредоточилось в руках нескольких сотен Пидорских приближённых, и кто в этом виноват, может Обама или НАТО😁?

Цены на нефть летят вниз на ожиданиях снижения целевой цены Саудовской Аравии

Стоимость Brent опустились ниже $72/барр. в четверг

Нефтяные котировки упали в четверг на новостях о том, что Эр-Рияд отказывается от своего ориентира по цене на нефть в $100/барр., готовясь к наращиванию добычи.

Ноябрьские фьючерсы на Brent подешевели в четверг на 2,4%, до $71,7 за баррель, а техасская WTI на те же 2,4%, до $68/барр.

До этого нефтяные котировки шли вверх на торгах, посколько признаки укрепления топливного спроса и снижения американских запасов нивелировали опасения по поводу слабого спроса в КНР.

Кроме того, на цены давит возможное возвращение на рынок нефти из Ливии, добыча и экспорт которой был ранее заблокирован из-за противоборств востока и запада страны.
