A 38% reduction in capacity is far from insignificant. Ukraine has also seemingly managed to repeat strikes frequently enough that the accumulated damage is significant enough to make repairs very time consuming. This level of attacks, if sustained, could substantially damage the Russian GDP. The lack of fuel for transport for sure reduces economic activity. Obviously expanding the set of refineries damaged is desirable, but not at the expense of letting Russia restore production at now offline refineries. Hit them again!
The obvious tactic would as you point out would be to keep hitting those installations supporting the petroleom industry. My guess is that certain critical parts are hard to come by and if you keep making it harder and harder it can't hurt. It certainly screws up their economy and ability to continue the war.
Isn't it harvest time in Russia now? If they lack fuel to harvest wheat and other similar crops that is another negative for their economy.
