Russian Tyumen Oil Refinery Halts Operations After Ukrainian Drone Strike

Russia’s Tyumen Oil Refinery, one of the country’s largest independent oil-processing facilities, has reportedly suspended crude oil processing and fuel production following a Ukrainian drone strike, according to The Moscow Times, on July 28.

The outage began on July 25 after the attack damaged key refining infrastructure. The Tyumen Oil Refinery has ceased processing crude oil and producing petroleum products after a Ukrainian drone strike damaged critical refining units.

The strike ignited a diesel fuel hydrotreater with an annual processing capacity of 2.6 million metric tons, as well as a combined unit used to produce high-octane gasoline. The timeline for restoring gasoline production remains unclear.

Ukrainian Drones Strike One of Western Siberia’s Largest Oil Refineries Nearly 2,000 km From Border

The refinery, owned by RI Invest, has an annual crude processing capacity of approximately 9 million metric tons, making it Russia’s largest independent refinery. Its gasoline production complex, commissioned in 2018, was built under a license from US engineering company UOP.

The facility produces around 500,000 metric tons of gasoline and nearly 3 million metric tons of diesel fuel annually. The Tyumen refinery is the sixth major Russian refinery to suspend operations following drone attacks since the beginning of July.

The disruption comes as Ukraine continues its long-range campaign against Russia’s oil industry. Earlier this month, a Ukrainian drone strike also forced Russia’s largest oil refinery in Omsk to halt processing.
