Does anyone else just keep popping by here to see if the Uke's have destroyed anymore refineries since the last time I popped in, like 30 seconds ago?

I don't know, but the refinery that inexplicably blew up last night, the Yaroslavl Oil Refinery, somebody with numbers said that one refinery was 5% of Russia's refining capacity.  Yaroslavl is located over 240 kilometers (150 miles) northeast of Moscow and 700 kilometers (430 miles) from the border with Ukraine.

From Reuters:

Fire breaks out at refinery in Russia's Yaroslavl region, governor says

A fire broke out at an oil refinery in Russia's Yaroslavl region, regional governor Mikhail Yevrayev said on Wednesday, ruling out enemy attack as the cause.

"Residents were concerned it might have been the result of an enemy drone attack," Yevrayev said on the Telegram messaging app.

"But what happened has nothing to do with that...The fire is of a technological nature."

The plant's annual capacity stands at 15 million metric tons (300,000 barrels per day).

Maybe they're telling the truth and inability to maintain the plants is coming home to roost?

True,  Zeihan was beating the drum about pressure literally building up in the pipelines when things are going offline and there’s no extra storage, but I would think they would have safeguards, but it is Russia so….

These three posts show the methodical work that Ukraine is doing. They bomb the main pipeline and then follow up destroying pumping stations along the route.  

Like Hermann Goring having to explain why Berlin is being  bombed, Putin should be answering questions why Russia cannot defend its integral gas and oil facilities from Ukrainian attacks. While the loss of oil and gas refining and exporting facilities is a problem for sure, the macro problem is that Russia has no air defense that can stop Ukraine from shutting down the gas station part of Russia being a gas station with nukes.

Silly Ukraine.  Drone strikes just increasing the cost of the reparations they will have to pay Russia.

“Make sure that Moscow’s elites have gas and fuel.  We don’t care about that preventative maintenance stuff right now. What could possibly go wrong?”

 

i’ve been wondering why they didn’t use Flamingos on the refineries - and I guess the answer is as long as drones can do the job - there’s no reason to spend the money and the resource of an ICBM.    On one glorious day in the future you send the new Tomahawks and glide bombs and hundreds of new Flamingos at the military industrial complex factories making whatever they still make, while taking out whatever power plants supply energy to the factories.

Use those Flamingos on refineries further into Russia.  Seems Ukraine has found a weakness.  Need to exploit it.

I still say a few Dachas. Why not? Do it for shits and giggles. Oh Vlad, how is your art collection now? Did we break some wine bottles? Sorry about that Ol' Chap,

I don’t know, man - I have this vision of an orgasmic future event where each factory and refinery will get multiple saved up flamingos. So many flamingos that the now-limited number of air defense missiles can’t stop them all.    I want the destruction of those sites and loss of electrical power to happen on the same day - in an event so dark and catastrophic that Russia can’t recover from it and continue its war effort at the same time. Or at all. 

 

“Imagine there’s no Russia.  It’s easy if you try. No Orcs in Donbas.  Glide bombs descending from the sky…Imagine all the Vatniks, Telegram off-line for all time.  Ooh hoo, hoooooo…

You could say I’m a dreamer. But I’m not the only one. Someday you’ll join us…and the world will live as one…. Gigantic Russia Smashing Hammer ”

Russia is preparing to import gasoline from China and other Asian countries to offset a growing domestic fuel shortage, following the shutdown of nearly 40% of its oil refining capacity, the pro-government outlet Kommersant reported on Oct. 1.

The move comes amid a series of Ukrainian drone and missile strikes that have severely disrupted operations at Russian refineries, a key component of the Kremlin’s wartime economy. Some facilities have been forced to halt production indefinitely.

According to the outlet, Russia is considering importing fuel from China, South Korea, and Singapore to stabilize its domestic market.

Per Kyiv Independent and Euromaiden news, Russia has removed import tariffs on gasoline, and will be purchasing gas from China, South Korea, and Singapore.

That’s right, Russia has banned export of gasoline so it’s not getting rubles for the economy, and instead has to use the remaining rubles to pay other Asian countries to import gas to Russia.

Which means we need to destroy every terminal that could logistically accept gasoline from other countries.

How much refining capacity does Singapore have?

I have no idea.  But if it turns out that the shadow fleet is selling gas to people who sell it to Russia at a profit, I’m gonna need to see a doctor after four hours.

Apparently enough that a lot of American oilfield services companies have offices over there. Owens Tool has one, I think Core Services, as well. Those are both companies that have offices close to Granbury. When my son was looking for an engineering job, several had Singapore offices.
