Russian Oil Disruptions Escalate Causing Global Prices to Rise
March 2, 2022
By Dmitry Zhdannikov and Julia Payne
LONDON, March 2 (Reuters) – Disruptions to Russian oil exports intensified on Wednesday with more countries and companies refusing to import and transport Russian crude and at least 10 tankers failing to find buyers, driving oil and gas prices higher.
The United States and the European Union have imposed harsh sanctions on Russia for the invasion of Ukraine but so far have refrained from direct measures on Russian energy exports after oil and gas prices have soared to multi-year highs.
U.S. officials gave conflicting messages on Wednesday with the White House spokeswoman saying Washington was “very open” to imposing sanctions but a White House adviser saying the Biden administration didn’t want to do it.
China’s banking regulator said the country will not join in sanctions on Russia.
Many Western buyers though have already refrained from buying Russian oil as they await sanction clarifications.
As a result, some 7 million barrels per day of Russian oil and products exports and an additional 1.2 million bpd of Kazakhstan’s exports via Russia – amounting to a combined 8% of global supply – have been disrupted in recent days.
Canada said it would shut ports to Russian-owned ships and oil tanker company Frontline said it was unlikely to transport Russian crude.
One of the top Russian oil firms, Surgutneftegaz, failed to find buyers for nine tankers with 6.5 million barrels of crude, traders said.
The ship-owners of two crude oil tankers due to load Russian and Kazakh oil from the Black Sea cancelled the shipments, traders said.
As Russian oil export disruptions widened, buyers began to look for alternative supplies in an already tight market.
State-run Indian refiner Bharat Petroleum Corp. was seeking extra oil from the Middle East and Polish refiner Orlen ordered five additional North Sea oil tankers from Saudi Aramco .
Inside Russia, the independent Novoshakhtinsk refinery suspended operations due to falling demand for Russian oil products.
Exxon Mobil joined oil majors BP and Shell in exiting Russia.
Trading house Trafigura said it would freeze investments in Russia and was reviewing its share in the Vostok Oil joint project with Rosneft.

They survived being the Soviet Union
China and quietly the Netherlands and/or Denmark is going to get a lot of discounted Russian oil.
Iran is going to be pissed about losing China as an oil customer.
Liquified Natural Gas is used to fix nitrogen in creating fertilizer aside from being used as a direct fuel and the EU and UK import a lot of LNG from Russia. Tell me how long the Strategic Reserve will last with Potato handing it out to everyone across the globe with little domestic production to replace it.
Some Russian banks have already switched over to the Chinese banking network
Russia goes Gold Standard and the Ruble is stronger than a dollar held up by nothing more than "the full faith and credit of the United States Government" with "credit" being the operative word, just look at how many trillions of dollars the US is in debt right now
Excuse me, I have this sudden urge to find out where that old pitchfork is located

They want a FF nuke attack? I submit since Lindsey is from South Carolina that Charleston just became the target.
