Russian Crude Exports Rise in July: Preliminary Data

OIL

Compared to pre-war levels in January and February, Russia's shipped crude exports from June 1-15 rose by 576,000 b/d to average about 3.88 million b/d, according to preliminary data from Kpler and reported by Platts.

  • The latest export flows, which are up from 3.81 million b/d in May, put Russia's seaborne crude exports at the highest since May 2019.
  • China and India continue to make up the biggest growth market for Russian oil, while flows to the EU subside. Crude imports into the Asian nations have risen by a combined growth of more than 1 million b/d on pre-war levels.
  • At the same time, EU imports of shipped Russian crude remained at around 1.3 million b/d in the first half of June, little changed from May but down from 1.75 million b/d in January and February.
