India's Nayara Energy buys only Russian oil in August
India's Nayara Energy imported only Russian oil in August, with Iraq's SOMO and Saudi Aramco halting supplies due to payment difficulties after the European Union placed the Russia-backed refiner under sanctions in July, data from trade and industry sources showed.
The private refiner imported 240,400 bpd of oil in August, an overall decline of 26% from July, tanker data showed.
Nayara, part-owned by Russian oil major Rosneft, operates a 400,000-bpd refinery at Vadinar in the state of Gujarat.
The sources declined to be identified as they are not authorized to speak to the media.
Following are details of Nayara's crude and condensate imports. Volumes are in 1,000 bpd.
