Russia is preparing to tighten state control over fuel production and distribution as repeated disruptions at oil refineries strain domestic supply, according to Russian media reports.
The Energy Ministry has drafted agreements with oil companies that would allow the government to effectively set recommended production volumes, domestic deliveries, and export levels for gasoline and diesel, Interfax reported on Tuesday, April 21, citing sources familiar with the discussions.
Under the proposed framework, companies would be expected to prioritize supplies to the domestic market and follow state guidance on output and sales, while keeping retail fuel price increases within inflation levels.
