The head of the Ministry of Energy Nikolai Shulginov said that the domestic market is fully secured by fuel. His words are published on the Office website.
Shulginov noted that gasoline production is at a high level. Since the beginning of August, approximately 61.2 thousand tons of AI-92 and 44.6 thousand tons of AI-95 are produced per day. This corresponds to the level of 2019-2020. “Production of petroleum products at the factories is enough to fully satisfy the current demand for fuel,” he added.
Regulators are constantly conducting operational meetings with large companies producing petroleum products to confirm the priority of ensuring the Russian market with the necessary amounts of fuel, as well as readiness to satisfy additional requests. In addition, oil companies began to fulfill the recommendations of the staff of the Ministry of Energy on the use of gasoline and diesel fuel reserves.
Earlier it was reported that the Russian authorities came up with a new way to reduce gasoline prices. Profile Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak at a meeting with representatives of oil companies offered to temporarily restrict access to the fuel exchange of professional traders.
