DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Druzhba Pipeline Accident: Key Implications" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Druzhba oil pipeline accident became the main "hit" in the Russian oil industry in 2019.
A year has passed, but no satisfactory answer about what did in fact happen has been given to date. Meanwhile, it was Russia's reputation as a reliable oil supplier that was put in jeopardy.
Oil with organic chlorides got to Belarus, Hungary, Poland, Germany, Ukraine, other countries. The accident led to a tremendous international scandal. That - at a moment when an increase in competition on the global oil market became obvious.
And the internal showdown over the affair continued for a year and indeed, it is not over yet. The bureaucratic conflicts may be considered to have begun with the personal meeting of Vladimir Putin and the Transneft chief executive, Nikolay Tokarev, in late April 2019. One might also say that the symbolic end to them was brought by their new meeting in exactly one year, in May 2020. But this end will be highly conditional.
The case will have lingering aftermath, evidence whereof is given, for instance, by current disputes over prices for oil transport.
