Russia’s diesel exports dipped by nearly a third in the first two weeks of September as output fell amid seasonal refinery maintenance, while producers redirected more fuel to the domestic market following government efforts to ease prices.
In the first 13 days of the month, Russian oil companies exported some 63,000 tons of diesel per day, down 31% from an average for the first 30 days of August, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. Diesel export data includes deliveries to foreign buyers via sea ports and railways.
