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.
