OIL

Russia’s compliance with its pledged OPEC+ output cut worsened in Feb, according to Bloomberg.

  • Russia pumped an average of 1.3m mt/d of crude in Feb, equivalent to around 9.54m b/d.
  • This puts its output up 82k b/d on the month and around 406k b/d below the baseline target of Feb 2023. Their voluntary pledge was 500k b/d below the Feb baseline.
  • The nation agreed to deepen production cuts in Q2. In April, its cuts will comprise of 350k b/d of production, 121k b/d of crude and product exports.
  • In May, it will cut 400k b/d of output and 71k b/d of exports. June will see it cut only production.
  • However, some note that Russia’s classified production data, coupled with the spread across production and exports, will obscure measurements of its compliance record.
