OIL

Russia’s seaborne crude shipments rebounded last week due to the resumption of flows out of eastern facing Kozmino port and due to higher Primorsk flows, according to Bloomberg vessel tracking.

  • Weekly crude exports rose 850kb/d to the highest since the end of June while the four-week average volume increased 160kb/d to 3.26mb/d in the week to September 29.
  • Kozmino shipments recovered after a drop last week, likely due to some sort of maintenance. Primorsk flows remain near historical highs.
  • Russia crude shipments to China via its Northern Sea Route had already exceeded last year’s total by mid September with a month still to go before the route closes.
  • Russia’s average refinery runs from Sept. 1-25 fell to the lowest since June at 5.28mb/d amid seasonal maintenance.
