|Someone mentioned here that this has repercussions in the petroleum
|extraction part of the supply chain. If they have to turn off a pump in
|the tundra because they have no refinery capacity, the pump or pipeline
|freezes up and cannot be restarted. Is there a better description or am
|I not fully understanding the issue?
|u/HecticOnsen - 10 hours
|
|You’re kinda right. Oil and gas production is exceedingly hard to
|‘turn off’ and just as hard to restart. In normal circumstances you
|don’t stop production even if you aren’t selling the product, you
|stockpile after refining. When you run out of storage space, you lower
|the price. You can control the pace coming out of wellhead but
|stopping it creates all sorts of problems. Some field compositions are
|easier than others.

|I would doubt that. Generally you don't plug a well even if you are
|losing money. If they can't refine it they will sell it crude for less
|money just like Iran does.
|u/Usernametaken1121 - 6 hours
|
|That's assuming they have the infrastructure to sell it crude to
|make a profit. Their infrastructure is conditioned for refining, I
|don't think it's as easy as flipping a switch and selling it crude,
|they would have done that the moment refineries were closing for
|spans at a time and other were working at half capacity due to low
|profitability.
|u/minkey-on-the-loose - 14 hours

|I guess they have storage or a market then.

|They can always sell to China and India. In fact, India will

|So, is this why all of our clothes come from Pakistan, and are
|made with polyester now instead of cotton, as a resident of
|North America? Is it due to laundered Russian oil being refined
|and entering the textile manufacturing industry, and what I
|might have read once, a tariff on Chinese cotton?
|u/onlyhammbuerger - 3 hours

|No, this is purely down to greed and no ecological

|u/AnEvilMrDel - 9 hours

|Storage has limits (capacity) so yeah - it’ll need to be marketed

|Turning off extraction is the last thing any supplier wants to do.
|It's extremely expensive to start and end extraction. It's just like

|u/FNA_Couster - 9 hours
|
|It's not impossible, but it's time consuming and expensive as fuck.
|And that's assuming you have correct & working equipment, which they
|likely don't. Usually the best option in a scenario like this is going
|into low idle but who knows if that's even an option for them. Used
|to work in O&G.

|I think if it’s somewhere cold like Siberia they have to cap it
|because the water in the oil will freeze
|u/PrivateWilly - 6 hours
|
|This is correct for a lot of their infrastructure. The real kicker is
|that to restart everything they would need western companies whom are
|currently sanctioned as the only home grown engineers capable of
|restarting the systems are all retired or in their 60’s. If the pipes
|back up and freeze they’re gone, and for a while.
|u/djfreshswag - 5 hours
|
|Production facilities and the wells that feed them shut in several
|times a year. Typically you just don’t want a well sitting idle for
|months. So say they have 10 wells, they may switch which one is shut
|in every couple weeks or month. It also depends on what the field is
|producing. We shut in our gas fields in West Texas for months at a
|time when prices go negative because of pipeline maintenance. There
|are fields we used to operate that the well performance is permanently
|reduced from frequent extended shut ins during Covid. So in summary,
|Russia likely knows which fields don’t have issues when shut in for
|extended periods, and shuts in those instead of the ones that may
|require costly work overs to return wells to prior performance. I
|would expect low to no impact on their overall production capacity
|from cutting production say 10% for an extended period

|Personal blogs tend to be poor conveyors of how language
|actually works. For example, "chomp" [can be transitive or

|No, it's not. Champing is a physically different process than
|chomping. Horses do not chomp at the bit. They grind their
|teeth on the bit, which is called champing It's the
|difference between biting and grinding - You wouldn't say
|grind the bullet, you say bite the bullet - You don't say
|chomping at the bit, you say champing at the bit It's not a
|language evolution thing, it's a red/ blue thing. Just because
|a person with full color vision sees red and mistakenly calls
|it blue doesn't mean that red and blue are the same, the
|person is just an idiot. Even if everybody agreed, they're
|still wrong. Red and blue are different colors even if you
|call them the same.

|Sure, but again, that's how languages work. Check out
|Italian dialects for more clear examples. Words that sound
|similar are mixed and misconstrued over time, all the time,
|to eventually create new dialects and change common
|expressions altogether.
|u/WonderfulPlace7225 - 3 hours
|
|No, this is not a language problem, this is an ignorance
|problem. you go to your dentist for a mouthguard because
|you grind your teeth, the dentist tells you to stop biting
|ice, do you see the difference? Champing means grinding,
|chomping means biting /chewing You can grind/champ your
|teeth, but you can't chew/chomp your teeth
|u/mad_m4tty - 1 hour
|
|The dentist analogy doesn’t quite work here, though.
|People aren’t debating whether “grinding” and “biting”
|are different actions—they’re using “chomping at the
|bit” as a common phrase, even if it’s not the original
|term. Language is about communication, and if most
|people understand “chomping” to mean eager or impatient
|in this context, it’s not ignorance—it’s just linguistic
|evolution. Words often shift over time, and insisting on
|strict definitions when the meaning is clear doesn’t
|make the usage wrong, just different.
