Turkey radically reduced oil imports from Russia after the European Union introduced the embargo, and the G7 countries set the prices of prices with a ban on tankers insurance that take Barreli more than $ 60.
In December, Turkey received only two cargoes of the Russian Urals variety with a total volume of 1.7 million barrels, reports Energyintel with reference to the statistics of tanker transportation from KPLER. In terms of the daily supply, the supply collapsed up to 55 thousand barrels per day, which is 86% lower than the level of the previous six months: in June-November, Turkey purchased an average of 399 thousand barrels per day.
After the start of the war, Turkey more than four times increased the import of Russian oil, taking Barreli on the market, which customers in Europe abandoned. But the December volumes of deliveries have become minimal since February and were even lower than the levels of the second half of 2021.
