Drone Strike Halts Oil Processing in Western Siberia
The strike damaged secondary units and left repairs unclear as the refinery processed 5.7 million metric tons of crude in 2024.
- On Saturday, July 25, a Ukrainian drone strike hit the Tyumen refinery, forcing RI-Invest to halt all crude processing and product output at the facility located over 2,000 kilometers from Ukraine.
- The diesel hydrotreating unit, which has a 2.6 million metric ton annual capacity, was already undergoing repairs following a June 6 fire caused by internal technical issues when the drone strike set it ablaze.
- RI-Invest owns the refinery, which possesses an overall production capacity of 9 million metric tons per year, and the strike damaged a combined high-octane gasoline production unit in addition to the diesel facility.
- The shutdown tightens a domestic Russian fuel market running short since spring, with sources indicating that repair timelines remain difficult to estimate, leaving the refinery's return to full operations uncertain.
- Ukraine's ongoing drone campaign against Russian fuel plants has pushed rationing into Siberia, as Kyiv targets these facilities to trim oil revenue and fuel supplies sustaining Moscow's war economy.
