It was established how the "dirty" oil ended up in the Druzhba pipeline

11
The official representative of the TFR of the Russian Federation, Svetlana Petrenko, clarified the case of the receipt of low-quality oil in the Druzhba pipeline. As it turned out, this was not an accident, but was the result of malicious actions to hide serious theft.





The Investigative Committee has identified a criminal group, which from August last year to April this year committed a series of thefts on an especially large scale. Crude oil worth at least one million rubles was stolen. Among the suspects were Svetlana Balabay, General Director of Nefteperevalka LLC, her deputy Rustam Khusnutdinov, and other officials.

To conceal the theft, the suspects injected oil with the addition of organochlorine compounds to the discharge unit in the area of ​​the village of Nikolaevka, located in the Samara region. This led to the fact that oil with dangerous impurities got into the oil storage and the main pipeline, which caused the failure of eight reservoirs of the Lopatino park.

The defendants are charged with several criminal charges. Four of them were arrested and placed in jail, and two are wanted.
As noted by Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak, work is ongoing to normalize oil supplies to consumers.

      One million rubles? Yes, nonsense. They just found a small shortage from someone and all losses were written off to them. Experts have already said clearly and clearly organochlorines were added to the wells to increase oil yield. And added a long time and in large quantities. What kind of one small company is there, it seems there or many suppliers (if not all) were engaged in this or someone is very large. We found switchmen.

        I read in the comments that in order to contaminate such an amount of oil, the detected concentration of organic chlorine in 200 mlg will require about 20 railroad tanks. That is, there can be no talk of any such "small company". However, there is one very interesting aspect of this story that is passed over in silence. Namely: the fact is that this oil was entirely intended only for Belarus, but ended up in Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary. That is, Lukashenka was caught by the hand in the trade of Russian oil, which he receives from Russia at a preferential price, and from which he previously denied himself, saying that it was a lie. Now the thief was caught by the hand, maybe this was the point in this whole story?

      Bullshit. Oil was stolen by 1 million. This is approximately a railway car. And then it turns out they downloaded it back? And when they stole from the pipe, were Transneft's appliances turned off? And who opened and closed the valves during the theft, which are also managed by Transneft? And no one added organochlorine. This is just unprepared oil to the requirements of GOST R 51858-2002 Oil. General specifications. In addition, the LACT meter, through which oil is pumped into the pipe, is equipped with, among other things, an automatic sampler. And this test is checked by the Transneft laboratory. This is a standard set of Transneft terms.

      I have a different guess. Lukashenko SHOULD BE FORCED to stop supplying oil products to fascist Ukraine. And in order to give him a formal reason not to spoil the face of his face, ours "spoiled" his refinery by supplying low-quality raw materials. They will deal with our "criminals" (this is necessary, a brigade of 6 people was enough to destroy the oil refining of several countries!) Will be indicatively condemned and amnestied until a court verdict. But it will be later and quietly.
      The main thing will be achieved - ukrofashisty will not get the fuel for attacks on the DNI. The result is evaluated.
