Russia's Gazprom has halted natural gas supplies to Austria due to a €230 million arbitration dispute with Austria's OMV AG. Despite the disruption, OMV assures it can meet supply obligations through alternative sources, highlighting Europe's interconnected gas network and its efforts to reduce reliance on Gazprom. The timing is critical as winter approaches, stressing the fragility of Europe's energy security.
Russian refineries are reducing operations due to export restrictions, rising oil prices, sanctions, and Ukrainian attacks, causing losses. The Tuapse refinery halted production in October but resumed in November. This reduction in processing rates has led to decreased fuel exports, cutting Russia's revenue from oil product exports by 14% in October. Russia may lift the gasoline export ban, given stable domestic prices.
