Saudi Arabia, Iraqi companies stop slow sales in the Indian refinery, sources say

• Nayara loses 3m barrels Monthly offer by bay exporters.
• Sanctions raise payment issues for Iraqi crude oil markets.
• The Nayara refinery operates with a capacity of 70-80% amid sanctions.

The Saudi oil company of Saudi Arabo and Iraq, Somo, stopped selling crude oil in India’s energy Nayara after sanctions imposed in July by the European Union for the refinery supported by Russia, reported three sources.

The interruption of the offer by the two Gulf exporters means that Nayara, which belongs to the majority of Russian entities, including the oil of the Great Rosneft, was entirely based on Russia for crude oil imports in August, according to sources and LSEG.

Nayara usually receives about 2 million barrels of Iraqi raw and 1 million barrels of Saudi Arabia each month, but did not receive missions from any of the two suppliers during August.

Somo and Nayara did not respond to requests for comments. Saudi Aramco refused to comment.

Two of the sources reported that sanctions had created payment problems for Nayara’s purchases from SOMO, without providing further details.

Basra Sable’s latest cargo from SOMO was released for Nayara from Kalliopi, a very large raw carrier (VLCC), at the port of Vadinar on July 29, according to Kpler and LSEG data as well as data from industry sources.

The private refinerator received 1 million Arab light barrels transported by VLCC Georgios loaded with a similar amount of Basrah Heavy on July 18, the latest Saudi Arabian tradition, according to LSEG data.

Nayara receives an immediate commission from Rosneft, a Russian Embassy official in New Delhi, said last month.

The private company operates the refinery 400,000 barrel per day in Vadinar in West India at about 70-80% due to difficulties in selling its sanctions, according to sources.

Nayara Energy, which controls about 8% of the refinement capacity of 5.2 million heavy heavy -domestic India, struggles to transport fuel from EU sanctions, based on so -called dark fleet boats after other loaders, according to shipping reports and LSEG reports.

The company’s chief executive resigned in July. Last week, Nayara announced the appointment of a higher executive power by the Azerbaijan National Petroleum Company as its Managing Director.
