Russia Nears OPEC+ Targets in July: Novak

OIL

Russia’s crude production in July is slightly above its target as part of the OPEC+ voluntary cut agreement but the country will compensate according to Deputy PM Alexander Novak.

  • "We have nearly reached it [the required level of oil output within OPEC+]. We are close to it. We have somewhat 'underperformed' the target at full volume, so to speak," Novak said, speaking to domestic news outlets.
  • Moscow’s additional curbs will most likely happen in summer and early fall for technological reasons according to Bloomberg sources last week.
  • In the second quarter, Moscow pumped an excess of about 14.7 million barrels, according to Bloomberg calculations based on OPEC’s monthly reports.
