Russian Pipeline Fire Could Affect Oil Loadings

An oil leak and resulting fire on an oil pipeline in Russia's Saratov region may affect the loading schedule for Russian crude exports, Igor Dyomin, a spokesman for oil pipeline monopoly Transneft, told reporters.

 

Dyomin said that oil flows through the pipeline could resume in approximately 3-4 days.
