Russia Tries To Convince Western Analysts It Reduced Crude Output

OIL

Russia's Deputy Energy Minister Pavel Sorokin held a call this month with Western analysts about country's oil production, trying to convince them that Russia had reduced output as targeted, sources told Reuters.

  • "The call was about Russia reaching its target level of output in April," a source said about the rare call with analysts, probably the first since early 2022.
  • Last week Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said Russia was abiding by its voluntary pledge to cut oil output by 500kbpd from February until the end of the year.
  • Russia was able to keep up oil production and exports thanks to its ability to ramp up sales of its energy products outside of Europe.
