Pipeline Disruption Adds Risk Premium to Russian Crude
- Transneft reported a roughly 250,000 bpd intake cut after damage at the Kaleykino pumping station in Tatarstan caused by a drone attack from Ukraine's State Security Service on Feb. 23.
- Amid an existing Druzhba outage since late January, Kyiv's drone strike on Kaleykino prompted industry sources to say Transneft cut crude intake by about 250,000 bpd, with Kyiv citing energy assets as funding Moscow's war.
- Kaleykino pumping station, a key hub mixing crude into the Urals export grade, suffered fires in two 50,000-metric-ton storage tanks with damage still undetermined.
- The 250,000 bpd intake reduction tightens options for redirecting barrels amid halted southern flows, as upstream producers may cut output or divert crude into storage and refineries in Hungary and Slovakia could face supply impacts.
- Transneft's outsized role makes the cut systemically significant as it handles more than 80% of Russia's oil exports, while UK sanctions and Budapest blocking a 90 billion euro EU loan complicate recovery.
