The Szyran Oil Refinery in Russia’s Samara region has temporarily ceased operations following a drone strike attributed to Ukrainian forces. The attack targeted a key processing unit at the facility, significantly impacting its production capabilities.
On May 21, a Ukrainian drone struck one of the primary processing blocks at the Szyran Oil Refinery. This incident led to the shutdown of the CDU-6 unit, which accounts for over 70% of the refinery’s operational capacity.
According to international reports, it is estimated that the restoration of operations may take more than a month. The refinery’s owner, Rosneft, has not yet issued a public statement regarding the incident.
Located on the banks of the Volga River, the Szyran Oil Refinery has a designed capacity of approximately 8.5 million tons of crude oil per year. In 2024, the facility processed around 4.3 million tons of crude oil.
Production figures for the refinery include:
- 1.5 million tons of diesel fuel;
- 800,000 tons of gasoline;
- 700,000 tons of fuel oil.
