Russia Pumps Oil Above Target as New Voluntary Cuts Start

OIL

Russia cut its crude output by less than pledged in April, exceeding the voluntary target agreed in March with OPEC+, Bloomberg said.

  • Daily crude production averaged just under 1.285m mt in April, equivalent to around 9.418m b/d.
  • This would put Russia’s crude output for April around 219k b/d below March, but 319k b/d above the level agreed in the OPEC+ agreement.
  • Russia is the only country dividing its curbs between production and exports of both crude and products.
  • For April, Russia pledged to cut production by 350k b/d from March levels, with a targeted daily production level for April at 9.099m b/d.
  • Russia also pledged to further its total daily output cuts to 900k b/d and 971k b/d in May and June respectively.
