OIL PRODUCTS

More than half of Russia’s refined fuel exports have been capped at $45/bbl, highlighting the potential pressure the nation’s oil industry could face from the latest G7 sanctions according to Bloomberg.

  • The G7 set out two sets of price thresholds on Russian fuels — $45 for cheaper ones, $100 for pricier ones — that came into effect on 5 Feb.
  • A line-by-line review of every fuel that was capped shows that about 53% of the nation’s exports by volume can only be shipped on European tankers with western insurance if the buyers pay $45 or less for them. The remaining 47% are subject to a higher threshold of $100 a barrel.
