Russia Implements Production Cuts to Align with OPEC+ Goals
Russia Orders Oil Companies to Cut Output
Russia's government has issued directives to oil companies to reduce production levels in the second quarter to meet a target of 9 million barrels per day by June's close. This move, in line with OPEC+ agreements, signifies an adjustment from previous outputs to align with international production goals.
Specific Targets Set by Russian Authorities
The government has provided individual production targets to companies, ensuring compliance with the overall objective of 9mbpd by the specified deadline. While there has been ambiguity surrounding the clarity of the cut—whether it's a novel mandate or a reaffirmation of existing commitments—this action aims to bring production closer to international standards.
- Russia's output to be reduced from 9.5 mbpd earlier this year
- Targeting production just above 9mbpd from a peak of 11.7 mbpd in 2019
