Ban on fuel exports did not affect Gazprom Neft's refining, volumes on par with last year - Dyukov

MOSCOW. Oct 13 (Interfax) - The ban on fuel exports did not affect Gazprom Neft's refining; volumes will correspond to last year's, company head Alexander Dyukov told reporters on the sidelines of Russian Energy Week.

As to how long the industry can operate under conditions of partial restrictions on the export of petroleum products, Dyukov said. "Export shipments of diesel have resumed. As far as Gazprom Neft is concerned, at the moment this is enough to keep our factory capacities occupied."

The ban on fuel exports did not negatively affect the company's refineries and its refining volumes, Dyukov said. "No, there were no changes; no overstocking; the usual situation. Refining will correspond to last year's figure. If there are deviations, they will be minor. As for motor fuels, production volumes have actually increased."
