Story summary

Sibur halted operations at its Zapsibneftekhim petrochemical complex in Tobolsk after a drone attack damaged the facility on August 11, 2026.
The plant, Russia’s largest LPG processor, makes about 6 million metric tons annually—roughly 40% of national output—and supplies half of Sibur’s integrated complex in Tobolsk.
Analysts said the shutdown could lift near-term spot LPG and propane-butane prices in Russia and nearby markets and raise feedstock costs for downstream producers.
