""Rosneft Germany has informed the Federal Network Agency, acting as trustee, that, following instructions from the Russian Ministry of Energy, the transit of Kazakh crude oil through the Druzhba pipeline across Russian territory to the PCK refinery is prohibited as of May 1, 2026.""
""The cessation of Kazakh oil deliveries to the PCK refinery does not ultimately mean a complete halt, as the refinery has been sourcing oil from other ports since 2022.""
Russia intends to stop oil exports from Kazakhstan to Germany through the Druzhba pipeline starting May 1, 2026. This decision threatens the PCK refinery, which supplies over 90% of Berlin's diesel, petrol, and heating oil. The refinery, previously operated by Rosneft, has been importing increasing volumes of Kazakh crude since 2022. Although the refinery is not solely reliant on Kazakh oil, the cessation of deliveries via Druzhba would significantly challenge its operations, as 17% of its annual oil processing comes from this pipeline.
