Kazakh refinery to export gasoline made from Russian oil
Kazakhstan and Russia have allowed Kazakh refinery Condensat to export 225,000 t of gasoline this year that will be produced from naphtha supplied by Russia's Tatneft.
Russia has curbed gasoline exports amid fears of domestic shortages, and many countries have imposed sanctions on Russian refined products. The scheme involving the Kazakh refinery bypasses both of those restrictions.
According to a draft agreement between Russia and Kazakhstan, Condensat will be able to ship the 225,000 t of gasoline outside the Eurasian Economic Union, a trade bloc that includes both countries and a few other ex-Soviet republics.
Kazakhstan's Energy Ministry confirmed that supplies from Tatneft to Condensat had been agreed at 15,000 tons a month. Russia's Energy Ministry, Tatneft and Condensat have not replied to requests for comment.
Kazakhstan's three main refineries - of which Condensat is not one - are currently barred from exporting gasoline outside the Eurasian Union.
