據7月19日Neftegaz.RU莫斯科報道，俄羅斯能源部長亞歷山大·諾瓦克(Alexander Novak)表示，俄羅斯石油產量在7月1日跌至近3年低點后，最近已恢復至莫斯科在歐佩克協議中承諾的上限。

據了解，俄羅斯最大的石油生產商俄羅斯石油公司(Rosneft)減產，導致7月初石油總產量降至近3年低點。俄羅斯7月1日的石油日產量平均為1079萬桶，為2016年8月以來的最低水平，當時的日產量為1071萬桶。此外，俄羅斯石油公司7月1日至8日的產量較6月平均產量下降11%。俄羅斯石油公司位于西西伯利亞的Yuganskneftegaz工廠的產量在7月的第一周比6月的平均水平下降了30%。

諾瓦克表示，俄羅斯的石油生產已經按照計劃恢復，7月初的產量確實有所下降，主要是“技術流程”問題。過去幾天，俄羅斯的產量已恢復到歐佩克+協議承諾的水平，并補充稱，7月下半月的產量將高于本月前兩周的平均產量。

據統計，6月，俄羅斯石油日產量從5月的1,111萬桶小幅升至1,115萬桶，而由外國公司經營的油田的產量較5月份下降了11.2%。

盡管6月產量有所上升，但俄羅斯仍連續第二個月遵守OPEC+減產協議的承諾，從10月份后創紀錄的1142.1萬桶/日減少23萬桶/日，降至1111.1萬桶/日。

Russia’s oil output rebounds from 3-year-low

Russia’s oil production in the past few days has recovered to the ceiling that Moscow has pledged in the OPEC+ deal, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said, after output had dropped to nearly 3-year lows in the 1st days of July, Oilprice reported.

Lower output from Russia’s largest oil producer Rosneft resulted in total Russian production falling to a near 3-year low in early July, Reuters reported. Russia’s oil production in the 1st days of July averaged 10.79 million bpd, the lowest level since August 2016, when production stood at 10.71 million bpd.

Rosneft’s production between July 1 and 8 went down by 11 % from the average production level in June, one industry source told Reuters. Production of Rosneft’s Yuganskneftegaz unit in West Siberia slumped by a whopping 30 % in the 1st week of July from the June average.

Speaking to reporters in RT, Novak said that Russian oil production is already restored in line with the plans, admitting that output was indeed lower earlier in July due to “technological processes.”

In the past few days, Russia’s production has been restored to the levels pledged under the OPEC+ deal, the minister said, adding that output in the 2nd half of July would be higher than the average production in the 1st 2 weeks of this month.

In June, total Russian oil production inched up to 11.15 million bpd from 11.11 million bpd in May, according to Reuters calculations of tons in barrels, based on data from the Russian Energy Ministry.

Last month, Russian oil companies ramped up production, while output at fields run by foreign companies dropped by 11.2 % from May.

Despite the rise in the June production, Russia was still complying, for a 2nd month in a row, with its pledge under the OPEC+ deal in which it vowed to reduce production by 230,000 bpd from October’s post-Soviet record level of 11.421 million bpd, to 11.191 million bpd.
