Summary
- Russia's Novorossiysk port suspends oil exports
- Disruption equals 2.2 million barrels per day, 2% of global supply

On November 13, 2025, Russia's major Black Sea oil export hub, the port of Novorossiysk, temporarily halted operations after a Ukrainian missile and drone attack. This disruption has significant global implications, as the suspended shipments account for 2.2 million barrels per day, or 2% of the world's total oil supply.

The temporary suspension of oil exports from this strategic location is expected to have ripple effects on global energy markets, potentially leading to price fluctuations and supply chain disruptions.
Industry sources have confirmed the incident, underscoring the vulnerability of critical infrastructure in the region to military strikes. As the two nations continue to clash, the impact on energy security and global energy supplies remains a pressing concern for policymakers and industry stakeholders alike.
