Russia’s oil refineries scaled back operations in early September for seasonal maintenance.

Primary crude processing averaged 5.52 million barrels a day from Sept. 1 to Sept. 6, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. That’s almost 32,000 barrels a day lower than the average for Aug. 1-30, when throughput also fell month-on-month, Bloomberg calculations show.
