Russian March Crude Cuts Failing to Show in Flows Data Yet

OIL

Overall Russian oil exports have remained firm in March despite Novaks’s latest comments about its commitment to reducing output by 500,000 bpd this month nearing its target.

  • He added that Russia aims to maintain the 500,000 bpd cut to its oil production until June prompting crude markets to rise about $2/bbl so far.
  • The lagged effect of production hitting impacts means that Russian crude flows may be seen trailing off somewhat in the weeks ahead if production cuts materialise.
  • In the seven days to March 17, Russia’s shipments were trimmed by 90,000 bpd to 3.23 million barrels a day versus the week prior according to Bloomberg vessel tracking. The less-volatile four-week average dipped by a similar amount.
