No other annual or monthly increases were recorded in the output of any of the energy product categories monitored, the National Statistical Institute (NSI) said in a regular data release.
Liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) recorded the largest annual drop in output, at 50% to 4,000 tonnes, as well as the biggest monthly fall, at 42.9%.
Bulgaria's overall output of oil products fell by 15% year-on-year to 567,000 tonnes in November and was also 12.5% lower than a month earlier.
In terms of energy products deliveries, petrol recorded the biggest annual jump, at 28.9% to 49,000 tonnes, while solid fuels posted the steepest decline, at 37.6% to 1.93 million tonnes.
On a monthly comparison basis, deliveries of natural gas increased the most, by 36.1% to 260 million cubic metres. The largest monthly fall, however, was in the delivery of LPG, at 18.6% to 35,000 tonnes.
Overall deliveries of oil products were 3.2% lower than in October and 6.3% higher compared to November 2022, at 389,000 tonnes, the data from NSI showed.
