Belarus' Mozyr oil refinery restoring operations after outage due to storm

The Mozyr oil refinery, one of two large oil processing plants in Belarus, is getting back on track following outages due to a storm on Sunday, local media reported on Tuesday.

Belta news agency cited the plant's director general, Vitaly Pavlov, as saying the plant's electric power supply, disrupted by the storm, was being restored and production units were getting back to operation.

Belarus' energy ministry said electricity supplies in the Mozyr region were cut off due to the storm, which destroyed power lines and toppled trees.

Belarus has two oil refineries: Naftan in Novopolotsk and Mozyr.

Each has a capacity of 12 MMtpy (about 240,000 bpd), but they typically run at lower capacity, each refining about 9 MMtpy (about 180,000 bpd).
