OPEC+ Is Working to Compensate For Reduced Russian Oil Production

OPEC+ is attempting to compensate for a decline in Russian oil production, according to two OPEC+ sources on Thursday, as Russia's production has fallen by approximately 1 million barrels per day as a result of Western sanctions imposed on Moscow over the Ukraine crisis.


One OPEC+ source familiar with Russia's position stated that Moscow could agree to other producers paying for its lower output, but it may not occur on Thursday and may not be in full.


A Gulf OPEC+ source said that a resolution on the topic was "very probable" at Thursday's meeting.


Despite tighter global markets, it is largely anticipated that the group would adhere to its scheduled monthly small output increases when it meets online later on Thursday.


However, Western sanctions imposed on Russia over Ukraine may result in production and export cuts of up to 2 to 3 million barrels per day from the world's second largest oil exporter.


In April, Russia's supply of approximately 9.4 million barrels per day (bpd) was already below its OPEC+ target of 10.44 million bpd.
