Russian Oil Exports Maintain Strength Despite Cut Claims

OIL

Russian oil exports remain buoyant despite its claims that is has cut production drawing into question whether they are committed to fulfilling them.

  • Russian oil exports averaged about 3.4mn bpd last week, almost unchanged from the week prior according to Bloomberg vessel tracking.
  • Demand from Russia’s key buyers China, India and Turkey remains strong.
  • Seaborne exports still aren’t reflecting a production cut that Moscow’s energy ministry said was as big as 700,000 barrels a day in March.
  • Russia has said it intends to cut its oil production by 500,000 bpd from March until the end of the year – a factor, which along with other OPEC+ cut commitments has been the largest driver of crude this year.
