Some gas stations in Russia’s Novosibirsk region suspend fuel sales

Source: NGS

Several gas stations in the Novosibirsk region have stopped selling fuel to individual customers, the Russian news outlet NGS reported, citing Denis Ryaguzov, the acting minister of industry, trade, and entrepreneurship development for the region.

Some stations are now selling only under long-term contracts or to fill municipal and state orders, Ryaguzov said. “In districts of the Novosibirsk region where Gazprom Neft has no presence, we are resolving the fuel supply issue for residents on a case-by-case basis,” he said, adding that Novosibirsk itself faces no shortages.

Ryaguzov did not say which stations were affected or when normal retail sales might resume.

Governor Andrei Travnikov, speaking at a meeting on the fuel situation, said the region had dealt with this before. “We have faced similar situations in previous years during refinery maintenance periods, when supplies were reduced. We learned to manage on a case-by-case basis, and that is how we continue to operate,” NGS quoted him as saying.

On June 23, Travnikov announced fuel sales restrictions across the region. The regional government recommended that highway gas stations cap sales at 40 liters of gasoline and 200 liters of diesel per transaction; other stations were given limits of 40 and 80 liters respectively. Sales of fuel into separate containers were capped at 10 liters.

Russia’s fuel crisis has now been ongoing for more than a month. Gasoline shortages have affected most regions of the country, including Siberia. On June 28, Igor Kobzev declared a state of high alert in Irkutsk Oblast to help manage the crisis. As a result, officers from the Interior Ministry and the Russian National Guard have begun patrolling lines at gas stations, where wait times have reached as long as 18 hours.
