The EU’s latest embargo on Russia will keep diesel prices high

The EU’s latest embargo on Russia will keep diesel prices high
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The European Union will ban imports of Russian oil products early next month, in a move to further punish Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, but one that could lead to tighter global supplies and higher prices for products such as diesel.

The ban on Russian oil products is likely to have a bigger impact than the EU ban on Russian seaborne crude oil and the Group of Seven price cap on Russian oil, says Tom Kloza, global head of energy analysis at the Oil Price Information Service, or OPIS, a Dow Jones company.

The EU banned imports of Russian seaborne crude oil from Dec. 5, and plans to ban imports of certain Russian petroleum products from Feb. 5.

Crude oil and refined products prices bottomed after the oil ban, since it “didn’t really impede the flow of oil,” Kloza says. Europe fared well despite the ban, he adds, because the winter season has been among the warmest on record for Europe, driving down winter heating fuel demand.

Even so, “it’s probably too soon to write the obituary for the 2023 winter in the Northern Hemisphere,” says Kloza.

The Feb. 5 ban on Russian oil products comes at a time when “ice and brutal weather can impede Baltic exports, and it is quite likely that Russian diesel is impacted.”

The EU, along with the G-7, also set a price cap on Russian oil at $60 a barrel in December, while a price cap on Russian oil products is set to take effect on Feb. 5.

“Through self-sanctioning since the end of last winter, European refiners had been divorcing Russia crude for a while, allowing for the reshuffle and appetite East of Suez to develop for Russian crude,” says Hédi Grati, executive director, refining & marketing at S&P Global Commodity Insights.

However, “product markets are more fragmented, the parcel sizes are smaller, and the shipping side of things is likely to be a greater bottleneck than it is for crude oil,” says Grati.

Russia is also a large diesel exporter, and replacement options for Europe are “less widespread” than for crude.
