Rosneft increased daily fuel sales at its gas stations in Irkutsk Oblast by about 50% compared to the average level of 2025, while keeping the stations open around the clock, Rosneft’s press service said. The company also noted that this step helps meet rising demand during the heating season. According to the source, the increase is temporary and targeted. Source: bbbreaking/233141
The regional authorities responded to the fuel situation by declaring a heightened readiness regime on September 27, as Governor Igor Kobzev had previously announced. The emergency measures are intended to guarantee fuel availability for residents and essential services during cold weather. The government also warned of possible supply constraints in remote areas. Experts see the governor’s decision as a precaution rather than a crisis signal.
On social media users react mainly positively, noting that round‑the‑clock stations solve long queues during bad weather. Some complain that prices may rise because of the higher sales volume, while others appreciate the convenience. A few jokesters compare the move to a «winter survival kit». Overall the feedback emphasizes the need for reliable fuel access in Siberia.
Analysts point out that a 50% increase from the 2025 benchmark indicates a significant shift in regional logistics, not a surge driven by a shortage. The move likely reflects Rosneft’s strategy to capture market share before the peak demand period, according to industry experts. Economists caution that such price and supply adjustments could affect local transport costs, especially for small businesses. The balanced approach of extended hours and higher output may stabilize the market without triggering panic buying.
