The Russian Federation stopped the supply of oil through the port of Novorossiysk due to a storm in the Black Sea.
The shipment of oil in the Russian port was stopped on Sunday, January 14. The next day, the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) also stopped the shipment through its terminal, Enkorr writes.
Yes, the height of the waves near the shores of Novorossiysk reaches 3-4 meters. The storm can have a significant impact on supplies, as last year in November it was not possible to ship oil to Novorossiysk for 12 days.
It is known that in the first week of January, the volume of daily deliveries of Russian oil by sea fell by 500,000 barrels, to 3.28 million.
Note.
The KPC pipeline system is one of the largest investment projects in Russia’s energy sector. The length of the Tengiz — Novorossiysk pipeline is 1,511 km. This route transports a significant part of raw materials from Russian deposits, as well as more than two-thirds of all export oil of Kazakhstan. The shipment of oil to the CPC is carried out through remote mooring devices 5 km from the coastline.
