Med crude-Urals diffs stable, Tuapse refinery to resume processing in Nov
MOSCOW, Oct 31 (Reuters) -Urals crude oil differentials to dated Brent were stable, while Russia's Tuapse refinery, one of the country's biggest Black Sea refineries, is set to resume operations next month, traders said on Thursday.
Rosneft ROSN.MM will resume operations at its oil refinery at the Black Sea port of Tuapse in November, three industry sources told Reuters.
The plant is expected to process about 480,000 metric tons of crude oil next month, limiting crude oil availability for exports, traders added.
Russia's crude oil exports from its three main western ports will drop by 13% in November from the previous month to 1.95 million barrels per day amid higher refinery intake.
