In several Russian regions, Rosneft stations have begun limiting the number of liters a single customer can purchase at one time. Authorities in Buryatia reported these measures, and drivers confirmed the existence of limits in Arkhangelsk and Penza.
Differences in supply volumes
Restriction parameters depend on the station's location and the type of fuel. According to information from the Ministry of Economic Development of the Zabaykalsky Krai, the limit at urban gas stations is up to 30 liters, while up to 50 liters are permitted on highways.
In Krasnoyarsk, a major city with a population of over 1 million people, specific rules apply: AI-95 is capped at 30 liters per vehicle, AI-92 at up to 50 liters, and diesel fuel can be purchased in volumes up to 100 liters. Karelia's head Artur Parfenchikov reported that in his region, the diesel limit is 50 liters, while for heavy vehicles at high-speed pumps, it is up to 200 liters.
Fuel limit examples
A significant condition has been the introduction of a ban on dispensing fuel into canisters, as announced by authorities in Karelia and Krasnoyarsk.
Reasons for restrictions
The introduction of limits coincided with a series of drone attacks on the company's oil refining capacities. In late October and early November, enterprises in the Samara region, Ufa, and the Ryazan region were hit. According to Bloomberg, Rosneft management suggests that the continuation of the conflict could cause long-term damage to the business.
