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

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

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

Easing sanctions has been a carrot held out in the past by the U.S., but which so far has resulted in very few authorizations, including one to Chevron Corp that has allowed the firm to expand operations in Venezuela and export its oil to the United States since November

Saudi Arabia’s crude oil exports dropped in June to the lowest level in 21 months, the latest data by the Joint Organizations Data Initiative (JODI) showed

An OPEC+ ministerial panel, called the Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee, decided to maintain the group’s current oil output policy during a meeting

Saudi Arabia will extend a voluntary oil output cut of one million barrels per day for another month to include September, it said, adding it could be extended beyond that or deepened
