SIBUR’s Massive Siberian Petrochemical Complex Shuts After Drone Attack, LPG Supply Disrupted
Publish date: 2026-08-12
According to Reuters, citing three industry sources, the facility in Russia’s Tyumen region was seriously damaged in a drone attack on August 10, 2026 and has been shut indefinitely while the extent of the damage is assessed. Tyumen Governor Alexander Moor confirmed that a fire had broken out at an industrial site following a drone strike, although he did not publicly identify the facility. SIBUR declined to comment to Reuters.
The most immediate impact is on liquefied petroleum gas supply.
Industry sources estimate that ZapSibNeftekhim produces around 6 million tonnes of LPG per year, equivalent to roughly 40% of Russia’s total LPG output. Around half of that volume is consumed internally as feedstock for SIBUR’s integrated petrochemical operations in Tobolsk.
By August 11, no LPG volumes from the Tobolsk loading point were being offered on the St. Petersburg International Mercantile Exchange, or SPIMEX. Earlier this year, around 4,000 tonnes per day of technical propane-butane mixture had regularly been sold from the location.
