Russia to Compensate for OPEC+ Overproduction
OIL
Russia will gradually compensate for excess production beyond its OPEC+ quota, according to Bloomberg citing Tass and Russia’s Deputy PM Alexander Novak.
- Compensation volumes will be confirmed within a week, Bloomberg said.
- Novak said that Russia’s compliance with its OPEC+ quotas was near 100% in May and aims to cut output to agreed levels to around 9m b/d by the end of June.
- In addition, Novak said that he saw global oil demand growth at around 1.5m-2m b/d in 2024 and 1.5m b/d in 2025.
- Demand in China is matching expectations and is providing the basis for OPEC+’s decision to relax supply cuts.
- Novak forecasts that oil prices will be around $80-$85/b by 2024 year-end, Bloomberg said citing Interfax.
