Russian Seaborne Crude Exports At Multi-Year High

OIL

Russian seaborne crude exports have been rising to the highest monthly level since at least 2017 so far this month, as refiners boost exports before EU restrictions from 5 December, Kpler data show.

  • Average daily seaborne oil-products exports stood at 3.17mn b/d on 1-10 November, up by 22% month on month.
  • “Shipping and insurance is still in limbo, so for many it’s best to stock up now before all of it comes into effect,” said Kpler analyst Viktor Katona.
  • The EU restrictions on importing most Russian crude oil and refined products will come into force on 5 December. The restrictions will force Russian producers to find new markets for at least 1.6mn b/d of crude and 1mn b/d of oil products, according to IEA estimations.
  • The EU is currently still discussing Russian oil price cap levels.
