#Bryansk oil/fuel depots explosions APR 24...

1. At RU military depot (fuel tanks)

2. Rail Tanker Car Loading Faility for oil ... this serviced by tap pipeline & pumping station off the main Druhzba Pipeline network that continues to the #Mazryr refinery in #Belarus.
The tap pipeline pumping station on the Druzhba "Friendship" network is at 53.105691°, 35.095544° and feeds the facility at Railcar loading facility at 53.226018°, 34.461276°

The RU military facility fuel depot is unrelated to the Druzhba facility.

Here is the Mazyr refinery in Belarus.
51.905305°, 29.327970°

It is downstream (SW) of Bryansk and the Druzhba mainline pipeline enters a tank farm (storage facility) NW of refinery. (orange line)
There is a mainline #Druzhba pumping station/storage facility with at least some FRT - Floating Roof Tanks (3 circles on the right) and unknown status of other circles visible.

Could they be underground FRTs attempting to conceal visiblity???

52.770684°, 32.936114°
What would it take to ignite a FRT (circled in image)?

Not much, direct hit to top would be best.

A light steel geodesic rain structure covers it with highly flammable vapors inside... "confined space".

Internal floating roof, floats atop the oil, rise/fall with oil level.
Where might the crude oil from the facility go by rail?

Points north & northwest; i.e., refineries near #Moscow and #StPetersberg or exported to refineries in the 3 Baltic countries, but unlikely Belarus as Mazyr is pipeline connected.

Also possible & likely... 🇷🇺#Kaliningrad
Although dated, this map of Russian refineries and chemical industry facilities and their primary products will help us understand which locations in RU could receive crude oil (from Druzhba - "Friendship" pipeline) by rail.

What should a discussion about #energy in context of #Ukraine🇺🇦, #Russia🇷🇺 and #Europe🇪🇺 be?

I can tell you; it should not be a decade's old rhetorical debate on #German 🇩🇪Nuclear Power Plants☢️ and North American 🇺🇸🇨🇦Pipelines.

A thread🧵on that here..

#RussianUkrainianWar
There is a dominant narrative on energy in Europe, more than a decade old now, that focuses critically on German nuclear power and their deployment of renewable energy and North American pipelines "hindering" Canada's ability to free Europe from Russian energy.

/2
They, German NPPs and 3 🇨🇦 pipes needing access to "tidewater" (the oceans), are intertwined and both are used to bolster the other's position, while diminishing any justified criticisms or discussion that they are but small cogs in the overall global energy jigsaw puzzle.

Sebastopol in the SW, home to #Russian #BlackSea Fleet (inc. #Ukraine's fleet taken over in 2014) and Krech in the east.

Both have road and rail to Kherson as well as industrial port facilities.
