Maintenance at Rosneft's Tuapse refinery extended to May 15: sources

MOSCOW: Russia's Tuapse refinery, owned by the country's top oil producer Rosneft, has extended maintenance on its sole primary processing unit until May 15, three market sources told Reuters.

Rosneft did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Major maintenance on the Tuapse refinery was originally planned from February 15 until March 24, but has been extended until April 4.

On April 9, the Tuapse refinery advised Russia's transport monopoly Transneft that the crude oil intake suspension at the plant would continue until the end of April.
