Russian Oil Product Exports Rise Despite OPEC+ Commitments

OIL PRODUCTS

Russian refined fuel exports rose to their highest since early April of last year on the latest four-week average basis.

  • Russian oil product shipments averaged 2.8 mn bpd in the four weeks to Jan. 7 according to Vortexa figures. It is up ~100,000 bpd or 4% from the week prior on a 4-week basis.
  • On a weekly basis, it rose 12% w/w to 2.9mn bpd.
  • Out of Russia’s voluntary 500kbd export restrictions as part of OPEC+ in Q1, 200kbd are expected to be oil product related.
  • Russia was in line with these cuts towards the end of last year but larger outflows of diesel, naphtha and fuel oil are pushing volumes away from the commitments.
  • Bloomberg vessel tracking out yesterday reported that Russian crude exports are in line with OPEC+ cuts at 3.34mn bpd on the four-week average – down 120,000 bpd from late December levels.
