OIL: Russian Crude Exports Rebound to Two-Month High

OIL

Russia’s seaborne oil flows have rebounded to the highest in almost two months, boosted by a recovery in shipments from Sakhalin, Bloomberg said.

  • Four-week average crude shipments increased to 3.26m b/d in the week to Aug. 25, rising by 60k b/d.
  • The more volatile weekly flows climbed by around 390k b/d to 3.35m b/d, the largest weekly jump since June.
  • Shipments from Sakhalin 2 on off Russia’s Pacific coast are recovering after a month-long halt for maintenance work in July.
  • The recent export rise comes ahead of a plan by several OPEC+ members to begin unwinding output curbs starting October.
  • Regardless of whether the unwinding plan goes ahead as planned, Russia’s share of any increase will be tapered by Moscow’s pledge to make deeper cuts to compensate for overproduction earlier in 2024.
