Russia Boosts 2017 Crude Oil Production To 30-Year High<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

OPEC\u2019s crude production held steady in December <\/strong>as the group approached a fresh year of output curbs in full compliance with its supply deal.<\/p>\n

The 14 members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries pumped 32.47 million barrels a day, according to a Bloomberg News survey of analysts, oil companies and ship-tracking data.<\/p>\n

Libya saw a 30,000-barrel-a-day decline to 970,000 a day following a\u00a0pipeline blast, which was offset by an increase from Nigeria.<\/strong>Both countries were exempt from cuts last year but are now expected to join the effort with a combined\u00a0limit\u00a0of 2.8 million barrels a day. OPEC and its allies agreed Nov. 30 to extend their output agreement until the end of 2018 to balance the market.<\/p>\n

Production in Saudi Arabia, OPEC\u2019s biggest member, slipped by 20,000 barrels a day to 9.95 million a day, the surveyed showed. Venezuela, which has suffered a slump in output amid economic collapse and U.S. sanctions, reduced volumes by a further 50,000 barrels a day to 1.81 million a day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But, as OilPrice.com’<\/em><\/a>s Tsvetana Paraskova writes,<\/em><\/a> despite the fact that Russia is cutting its oil production as part of OPEC and allies\u2019 deal to restrict global oil supply, Moscow\u2019s average daily crude oil production inched up again in 2017, to a 30-year-high<\/a> of 10.98 million bpd, <\/strong>according to Russian Energy Ministry data.<\/p>\n

Non-OPEC Russia, like OPEC\u2019s de facto leader Saudi Arabia and most of the other cartel members, entered the joint deal on January 1, 2017 at a very high level<\/a> of production, which took much of the sting out of the cuts. In the last quarter of 2016, Russia\u2019s production had hit a post-Soviet era high<\/a><\/strong>, while year over year in 2016, production grew to 10.96 million bpd, from 10.72 million bpd in 2015.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s pledge in the OPEC\/non-OPEC deal is to shave off 300,000 bpd from the October 2016 level, which was the country\u2019s highest monthly production in almost 30 years–11.247 million bpd.<\/p>\n
