February 14, 2023: -On Friday, Russia will cut oil output by 500,000 barrels each day in March, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said, following Western bans on Moscow’s crude and oil things implemented in the previous few months.
The announced production refusal amounts to roughly 5% of Russia’s latest crude oil output. The Paris-based watchdog, the International Energy Agency, estimated it was down at 9.77 million daily barrels in December.
The Brent contract for April delivery was traded at nearly $85.58 per barrel, an increase of $1.10 a barrel by over 1% on the news compared to Thursday’s close costs. The front-month Nymex WTI deal with March expiry was $79.03 a barrel, gaining 1.2% from the previous settlement.
Novak said the reduction would “help restore market connections, a Google translation of statements reported by state news agency Tass.
He notes that the cut does not put to gas condensate and will be aimed at actual output stages, not from quota under the OPEC+ output deal. The agreement was not made in consultation with the OPEC+ coalition, which Moscow co-chairs.
OPEC+ producers must typically agree to a consensus on output policy, with members bound to the aims. But the group has previously permitted voluntary gestures that honour the spirit of existing output agreements; in this case, Russia refused would build on a previous OPEC+ agreement to lower production by a mixture of 2 million barrels per day, agreed in October in the previous year.
Other OPEC producers facing sanctions, like Venezuela and Iran, have requested and got exemptions from their production quotas. Several OPEC+ delegates said that Russia had so far signalled no intention to ask for similar accommodations.
The EU implemented bans on seaborne crude oil imports on December 5 and oil products. Under a program passed by the G-7 richest nations, Western givers may continue to supply critical financial and shipping services to Russian charm volumes to non-G7 destinations, provided these fuels are bought beneath specific price caps.
“As earlier stated, we will not sell oil to those who adhere to the rules of the ‘price ceiling’,” Novak reiterated on Friday, stating that the price cap shows could lead to oil and oil products.
“Lower Russian production and China’s reopening should tighten the oil market over the coming quarters,” UBS Strategist Giovanni Staunovo said in a note to clients on Friday.

AspenTech, a Massachusetts-based company, plays a pivotal role in the oil and gas industry by leveraging cutting-edge technologies, including AI (artificial intelligence). Let’s delve into how AspenTech contributes to this dynamic sector
It’s no secret that oil and gas is a boom-and-bust industry. Production is currently up, projected to increase to 13.7 million barrels daily in 2024. But this won’t last forever. Whether production is up or down, the key to maximizing production, optimizing efficiency, and taking advantage of increased profits is innovation, digital transformation,and automation.For stakeholders looking to deliver safer, more efficient, and cheaper energy, innovation and automation must be a top priority. Those who fall behind in the race to innovate, ultimately, run the risk of losing market share.
