Russia has not discussed with the OPEC+ group of leading oil producers a possible crude oil supply increase to compensate for Russia’s fuel exports ban, the Kremlin said

Sept 24 (Reuters) – Russian crude oil supplies increased 50% this spring despite the G7 countries imposing sanctions due to war in Ukraine, the Financial Times reported citing data from analytics company Kpler

Russia has temporarily banned exports of gasoline and diesel to all countries outside a circle of four ex-Soviet states with immediate effect in order to stabilise the domestic market, the government said

Crude exports from the world’s largest oil exporter fell to 6.01 million barrels per day (bpd) in July, down about 11.6% from the previous month’s 6.8 million bpd and the lowest since June 2021

Saudi Arabia’s Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman defended OPEC+ cuts to oil market supply, saying international energy markets need light-handed regulation to limit volatility

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) said data-based forecasts do not support the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) projection that demand for fossil fuels would peak in 2030

According to the report, OPEC expects that global oil demand will rise by 2.25 million barrels per day in 2024, compared to the growth of 2.44 million bpd in 2023

The G7 and allies have shelved regular reviews of the Russian oil price cap scheme, even though most Russian crude is trading above the limit because of a rally in global crude prices

Saudi Arabia and Russia agreed to extend their voluntary oil production cuts through the end of this year, trimming 1.3 million barrels of crude out of the global market and boosting energy prices

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries has pumped 27.56 million barrels per day (bpd) this month, up 220,000 bpd from July
