“India and Russia Energy Partnership: Novatek in Talks with Indian Companies”

[tomorrowusa]

Russia makes money primarily off of fossil fuels. It does have decent agricultural exports but those alone could not pay for Putin's war machine. So disrupting Russia's oil and gas industry is a way of reducing the country's revenue which allows it to conduct an illegal war of aggression.

Hostile drones have been winding their way across the Russian landscape this winter, striking refineries and related oil and gas infrastructure all the way from the Baltic Sea in the northwest to the Black Sea in the southwest. Drones attacked both the Ilsky and Afipsky refineries in Russia's Krasnodar region, east of occupied Crimea, on Feb. 9, less than a week after another refinery in Volgograd, the largest in southern Russia, was hit. Further attacks have struck other refineries and oil depots near the Ukrainian border, as well as much deeper into Russian territory. Though Ukraine does not typically confirm its actions outside its borders and Russia has not officially acknowledged drones were the cause of these incidents, media reports have identified Kyiv's hand in the attacks occurring with regularity as Moscow's invasion of Ukraine nears the two-year mark. Analysts say the drone attacks are demonstrating that oil and gas targets of economic significance are not out of reach, even far from the front lines of the war. 

The late Sen. John McCain nailed it.

Late U.S. Senator John McCain once derisively described Russia as being "a gas station masquerading as a country" — a jibe underlining the critical importance of oil and gas products to Moscow. Indeed, Russia draws heavily on its resource reserves to support the state. The International Energy Agency says Russia's oil and gas export revenues accounted for 45 per cent of its federal budget in 2021.

Of course a lot of that fossil fuel money gets siphoned off by corrupt oligarchs who use it to purchase superyachts and expensive real estate in Western countries.

A January attack on a Novatek facility in Ust-Luga halted gas processing operations there for several weeks. The plant processes gas condensate into various fuel products that are exported to customers in Turkey and Asia, according to Reuters. Sergey Vakulenko, a former strategy executive at Gazprom Neft, a subsidiary of the larger Russian energy firm, believes the Ust-Luga episode may illustrate a bigger problem for Russia than a temporary disruption to production at a single facility. In a recent analysis published online, Vakulenko reasoned that if small drones can get all the way to Ust-Luga, which is hundreds of kilometres from the Ukrainian border, there are some 18 Russian refineries at risk of being targeted, and they account for more than half the country's refinery production. He's not the only analyst noticing this concern for Russia's refineries.

And because hundreds of thousands of competent Russians have (wisely) fled the country and others are being used as cannon fodder for Putin's war, it takes longer to repair facilities damaged by Ukraine.

And the fossil fuel industry mostly has to fend for itself.

Maxim Starchak, an independent expert on the Russian defence and nuclear industry, says regulations have been put in place to restrict drones from flying close to "the most significant fuel and energy sector facilities" and operators are using electronic warfare systems to defend against drone threats. But Starchak said Russian energy firms must foot the bill for expenses related to defence of their facilities. "Moscow will not specifically help," he said, noting Russian authorities may hold firms accountable for not putting measures in place to protect their facilities.

So that burden cuts down on revenue as it adds to the cost of doing business.

One thing Ukraine has been innovative at is drone technology. It's become one of the world's leaders at that.

As Ukraine continues to fight to repel Russian forces from its lands, its military leaders have signalled drones and related technology will be needed to win the war that seems to have no end in sight.

And Western countries find it easier to provide additional drones to Ukraine than to send tanks and cruise missiles.

So Russian convict troops can luxuriate in the ruins of Avdiivka while their oil refineries back home get blown up by Ukraine.

EDIT: Speaking of fuel, just saw this at NPR.

Putin's regime is 'running out of fuel,' a Russian opposition activist tells NPR

[mariacallous]

At the start of January 2023, the Ukrainian army began regularly targeting Russian oil and gas refining facilities. Between January 18 and February 3, Ukraine’s Armed Forces carried out seven drone strikes against oil infrastructure, while at least two more drones were shot down in the Nizhny Novgorod region, which contains a refinery. While Ukraine has been attacking petroleum industry targets throughout the war, previous attacks targeted facilities in occupied or border regions. Now, Ukrainian drones have started hitting targets in the Leningrad, Volgograd, and Yaroslavl regions. The independent Russian outlet iStories dug into what these attacks could mean for the next phase of the full-scale war. Meduza has translated the analysis into English.

How vulnerable are oil refiners to drone attacks?

The Novatek chemical terminal in the Leningrad region’s Ust-Luga settlement ceased operations after a drone attack on January 21 — as did the oil refinery in Tuapse on January 25. On January 31, Russia’s Energy Ministry said that the terminal in Ust-Luga was up and running again. A refinery in Volgograd that was hit in an overnight drone attack on February 3 stopped part of its production to repair damage, sources at the plant told Russian newspaper Kommersant. Official reports say the refinery is operating normally.

Oil refineries’ vulnerability to small drones shouldn’t be exaggerated, according to Sergey Vakulenko from the Carnegie Center: “The standards at which Russian oil refineries are built and modernized stems from Cold War-era technical standards. At the time, they were designed to ensure the resilience of plants even during conditions of aerial bombardment by 1000 kilogram (1.1-ton) bombs. That means that drones weighing only a few kilograms can set a refinery on fire, but it can’t destroy it.” Even if a drone hits the most vulnerable part, the gas fractionation unit, it would cause a large explosion which could put a plant out of commission, but it wouldn’t wipe out the whole facility.

However, Russia’s refineries may have difficulties repairing the damaged Western equipment that they started using widely after 2008, Vakulenko notes. It’s now impossible for Russian companies to get all of the parts and expertise they need due to sanctions, and Chinese technology may prove incompatible.

Are air defenses able to defend oil refineries?

There are two ways to defend targets in the deep rear from drones: shielding the border from the enemy and shielding the targets themselves.

It’s difficult for Russia to defend its entire border with Ukraine due to its expanse, explains the Israeli military expert David Sharp. Drones are a difficult target for Russian air defenses. Made out of plastic and composite materials, drones are hard to detect by radar. They also fly relatively low to the ground.

Some of the Ukrainian drones flying into Russian territory are intercepted by air defense systems right in the border regions, especially in the Belgorod region, according to Sharp. “Ideally, air defenses are supposed to catch all drones near the border, but this requires many complexes, many long-range detection systems, including airborne ones, like the A-50 aircraft,” he says. It also requires coordinated effort from all air defense units: “There are many technical and organizational aspects involved; it can’t all be airtight.”

Another option is to put air defense complexes near every facility that could be a target for drone attacks, Sharp explains. This would likely require short- and medium-range systems such as Russia’s Pantsir. It would also likely require more than one complex per facility. After the strikes on the terminal in Ust-Luga and the refinery in Tuapse, Vakulenko wrote that another 18 Russian refineries could come under attack.

“For Russia, defending oil refineries is a significant diversion of resources — even when it succeeds. Many air defense systems need to be deployed either to defend the borders or to defend the facilities, or for both. You either take these systems from the front line, or you increase production, which is very costly,” says Sharp.

Russia doesn’t have enough air defense systems to protect all of its facilities scattered across its vast territory. If attacks continue, according to analysts at the Atlantic Council, Russia’s military command will have to decide where to use air defenses — on the front or in the rear.

Are attacks on oil refineries a new strategy for Ukraine’s Armed Forces?

Yes and no. On the one hand, applying a “long arm,” i.e. hitting targets deep in the enemy’s territory, has increasing been a priority and an important factor in the war’s development, according to Sharp. On the other hand, these efforts have occurred independently of the situation on the front, where reality dictates a defensive strategy.

Military expert Kirill Mikhailov agrees: “These attacks play an important role in both defense and in offense. During the Second World War, the U.S. and the U.K. spent several years looking for ways to inflict as much damage as possible on fascist Germany through bombings.” Strikes on residential buildings and factories didn’t bring about significant results, but closer to 1945, the U.S. “found Germany’s achilles heel.” “They turned out to be synthetic fuel plants. These were huge plants that couldn’t be hidden, and required a lot of time to repair. By the end of the war, the Allies had practically deprived Germany of fuel."

What damage have the drone attacks on Russian oil refineries caused to the economy so far?

This is a difficult question. Here’s what we know.

On January 25-30, Russia saw a nearly four-percent drop in oil processing (compared to January 2023), according to Bloomberg. During the last week of January, the disruptions at the plants in Ust-Luga and Tuapse, which were targeted by drones, may have begun to affect operations at the facilities. In December, around five percent of Russia’s oil processing took place at these plants. There was also a decrease in the amount of output at the oil refinery in Volgograd.

According to Russian newspaper Kommersant, oil refineries processed 1.4 percent less in January than they did in December, and four percent less than in January 2023. While this is partially attributable to annual maintenance and reductions related to Russia’s commitments as part of agreements made with Saudi Arabia to decrease its oil production, it’s also a result of the shutdowns following drone attacks.

On January 31, Russia’s Energy Ministry officially announced measures “to compensate for the declining volumes of automotive gasoline caused by unplanned repairs at the plants.” In order to secure enough gas for the domestic market, the authorities reduced shipments abroad. This caused gas exports to fall by 37 percent and diesel exports by 23 percent compared to January 2023. It’s not clear to what extent these repairs were related to the drone attacks.

Experts say that continued attacks on oil refineries could decrease export volumes (oil products currently account for a third of total oil exports, notes Vakulenko), create a fuel shortage in the country, and even affect the front lines — though it’s difficult to assess under what conditions this would occur and how serious the consequences would be.

Attacks on critical infrastructure, rather than an “endless bloodbath on the front lines,” is what could inflict truly serious damage on Russia, writes British writer and historian Owen Matthews: “Perhaps this is what will make the war too expensive and painful for Putin.”

Inferno rips through Putin's missile factory & gas plant after drone blitz

Massive explosions rock Russian missile factory & gas plant after Ukrainian kamikaze drone blitz in double blow to Putin. Russia has suffered a night of hell with Ukrainian kamikaze drone strikes on a major missile factory and gas plant. Two huge explosions erupted at the strategically-important Novatek plant near St Petersburg, triggering a raging inferno.

P.S. Good! Very good! The Russian imperialists get what they deserve. The super good news is that the successful attack was carried out with military technology created and manufactured in Ukraine. Donald Trump and the Republicans' empty bluster has NO MEANING...the war against the Russian imperialists and their friends will continue regardless of the outcome of the American election. Trump is lying to his voters as usual

2022 Global Semiconductor Manufacturer Ranking

The report recently released by the market research agency Gartner shows the ranking of the top 25 semiconductor manufacturers in the world and in mainland China, among which Samsung, Intel and Qualcomm are still in the top three.

The data shows that global semiconductor revenue will reach US$599.1 billion in 2022, a slight increase of only 0.2% year-on-year. The total revenue of the top 25 semiconductor manufacturers will increase by 1.9% year-on-year, while the total revenue of "other" companies will decrease by 5.1%.

In terms of manufacturer rankings, Samsung, Intel, Qualcomm, SK Hynix and Micron occupy the top five positions.

From the perspective of revenue growth and decline, ADI’s revenue increased by 46% year-on-year last year, the largest revenue growth rate among the global TOP25 semiconductor manufacturers; the second largest increase is AMD, with an annual increase of 45%, and AMD benefits from embedded, data Growth in the center and gaming business. The biggest loser was Novatek (-23%), followed by Intel (-20%).

Among the TOP25 manufacturers whose main business is storage, their revenue will all decrease in 2022. SK Hynix (-10%), Micron (-6%), Western Digital (-17%), and Samsung's revenue will also decrease by 13% due to the drag of the storage business. %.

In 2022, the revenue of semiconductor companies in mainland China will reach US$45.8 billion, a decrease of 0.5% from the previous year. The global market share will fall from 7.7% in 2021 to 7.6%. It can be seen that semiconductor companies in mainland China will be greatly affected by the market in 2022, and nearly half of the companies' revenue will decline in 2022.

In terms of manufacturer rankings, OMNIVISION, Nexperia, Yangtze Memory Technologies, UniSoC Technologies and GigaDevice Semiconductor rank in the top five.

It is worth noting that HiSilicon (Hisilicon) fell from the fifth position last year to the sixth position, and its revenue also decreased by 18% year-on-year.

Shell and Unilever are still operating in Russia.

Two of Britain’s biggest companies have been blasted for continuing to operate in Russia after it invaded Ukraine. Despite an exodus of firms after the war began last February, oil giant Shell is still trading Russian gas a year after promising to pull out of the country’s energy market. And Dove soap and Cornetto maker Unilever has been labelled an ‘international sponsor of war’ by the Ukrainian government as it continues to sell food and hygiene products in Russia. The broadside marked a difficult start for boss Hein Schumacher, who took over at the weekend. Campaigners at the Moral Rating Agency (MRA), which pushes for companies to exit the Russian market, have called on Schumacher to ‘do the moral thing’ and pull the business out of the country. 

[ ... ]

‘A Cornetto ice cream seems innocuous until you realise that millions of them being sold each day can quickly pay for the launch of a missile,’ said MRA founder Mark Dixon. ‘Likewise, a bar of Dove soap starts to look pretty dirty when there are enough of them being produced to purchase a Russian tank.’

[ ... ]

Shell, meanwhile, has been accused by Ukrainian officials of accepting ‘blood money’ by continuing to deal in Russian energy. It is shipping Russian gas through a deal with Novatek, Russia’s second-largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) firm, which compels it to buy 900,000 tonnes per year from the Yamal Peninsula in Siberia.

If you are interested in boycotting, Shell is largely unambiguous about its products. However Unilever owns hundreds of brands. This graphic is probably incomplete.

Shell and Unilever are financing Russian terrorist acts like these.

4 people dead, 34 wounded, 50 cars destroyed and 30 houses damaged: aftermath of Russian strike on Lviv

These are intentional acts of terrorism against civilians; such atrocities take place almost every day. The number of casualties caused by Vladimir Putin and his fellow Kremlin war criminals would have made Osama bin Laden envious.

Frankly, Putin should be regarded the way bin Laden was and should not be normalized. Western companies have had plenty of time to notice what is going on and leave Russia.

BTW, this is not the first time Shell Oil has been chummy with genocidal dictators...

Russia’s Arctic LNG 2 plant, burdened by heavy Western sanctions, halted its liquefied natural gas (LNG) production as export barriers continue to grow, Bloomberg reports, citing sources familiar with the situation on October 28.

Sanction restrictions from the US and its allies, in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, have blocked Arctic LNG 2 from utilizing specialized ice-class tankers required for the region’s harsh conditions.

Foreign buyers, like India, have also refrained from purchasing Arctic LNG 2’s output, significantly impacting the plant’s operations.

“Commercial liquefaction at the facility was halted,” a source reported, noting that the plant cannot freely move its cargoes to market.

Following the liquefaction halt, gas output from the fields supplying Arctic LNG 2 has dropped sharply, averaging around 5.3 million cubic meters per day in October, down from a September daily average of 12.1 million cubic meters.

Some gas processing continues to ensure that the facility remains operational, albeit at a reduced scale.

Despite beginning exports in August and successfully moving eight shipments of LNG, Arctic LNG 2 has struggled to secure buyers due to sanctions.

The plant relied on conventional gas carriers, some with opaque ownership, to ship its cargoes.

Geoffrey Pyatt, the US State Department’s assistant secretary for energy resources, confirmed that Biden administration will continue “tightening the screws” on Russia’s LNG exports to prevent funding of the war in Ukraine.

Adding to the challenges, Russia recently restricted non-ice-class vessels from traversing the eastern Arctic to Asia due to worsening ice conditions, further narrowing shipment routes until summer when the region becomes passable for regular ships.

With an annual design capacity of 19.8 million tons, Arctic LNG 2 is currently running only one of its planned production units, which has a yearly output of 6.6 million tons.

The plant, managed by major Russian gas producer Novatek PJSC, ramped up production through the summer.

However, without clear access to international markets, its operational future remains uncertain.

Earlier, it was reported that Europe found alternatives to Russian gas by expanding their capacity to import liquefied natural gas from sources like the United States.
