After the drone attack at the Lukoil plant in Volgograd will be stopped indefinitely

Unnatural sources at the enterprise were told about the stop at the refinery. They also did not report what time the production would stop. Earlier, the media of Volgograd suggested that the plant was damaged. It is reported that this is the technological installation of primary oil processing of ELOU-AVT-5 of fuel production of Lukoil-Volgogradna Fuel Production LLC. The refinery, located in the Krasnoarmeysky district of Volgograd, began to work in 1962.

It is the second most powerful installation of primary oil processing of Lukoil-Volgogradnafrobrobhtto processing LLC. In 2013, a major overhaul was carried out at Elou-AVT-5, during which the installation stopped for a month. In 2022, the press service of the enterprise reported a large -scale reconstruction, which cost 12 billion rubles (about five billion hryvnias). Then the installation work stopped for a month.

Volgograd journalists made a comment to the expert who explained that the damage to the installation is critical of the refinery. "Elou installation is an electrical installation. Oil is washed with water, salts are cleaned, which can then increase the corrosion of the equipment when heated. A car is an atmospheric-vacuum tub diesel, etc. ", - explained Dr. Chemical Sciences, Michael Silin. The first reports of UAV attack began to appear around five in the morning on February 3.

The sources were reported that the explosion had a fire at the factory, after which a fire began. At the same time, officials stated that the fire had "due to oil spill". Two hours later, the local Ministry of Emergencies reported that the open fire was liquidated. Only after almost three hours did not report on the attack of drones. And the situation was commented by Governor Andriy Bocharov, saying that the UAV attack was "reflected".
