Russia’s Crude Exports Cling to Multi-Month High

OIL

Russia’s seaborne crude exports maintained a multi-month high in the four weeks to April 21, according to Bloomberg.

  • Oil processing, meanwhile, is near the lowest level since May amid damage from both recent flooding, and Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries.
  • Weekly crude flows were down by 0.5m b/d on the week to 3.45m b/d in the seven days to April 21.
  • However, the four-week average was largely unchanged at 3.66m b/d, the highest since June.
  • This put weekly shipments around 15k b/d below Russia’s April target. The four-week average level was 195k b/d higher than the target level.
  • Russia said it would cut crude exports during April by 121k b/d compared to the average May-June level as part of its OPEC+ agreement.
