Total offline capacity for the whole month is still seen remaining the same as calculated last week, at around 3.9 million tons, jumping 34% in September from August.
According to the data from the sources, Russia's average offline oil refining capacity is expected at 119,600 metric tons per day between Sept. 16 and 30, down from 145,600 tons per day in the first half of the month.
