Russia's oil production climbed to over 9 million barrels per day in July, a rise of approximately 100,000 bpd from the previous period. This increase is attributed to recovering exports and partially restored refinery operations, occurring despite sanctions and infrastructure attacks. Meanwhile, Venezuela's crude oil output averaged 1.221 million bpd in July, marking an 11% year-over-year increase but a 3% dip from June, according to PdV data. These figures encompass condensates and natural gas liquids.
Russia's crude oil and condensate production surpassed 9 million barrels per day in July, with an approximate increase of 100,000 barrels per day compared to the prior period. This growth is primarily fueled by a recovery in exports and a partial restoration of refinery operations. The production figures are being reported amidst ongoing international sanctions and infrastructure attacks targeting Russia's energy sector.
In parallel, Venezuela's crude oil output for July averaged 1.221 million barrels per day. This figure represents an 11% increase when compared to the same month in the previous year. However, it also signifies a 3% decrease from Venezuela's production levels in June. The reported Venezuelan figures include condensates and natural gas liquids, as per data from the state-owned oil company, PdV.
These developments highlight differing trends in oil production among major energy-producing nations facing unique geopolitical and economic circumstances. Russia's ability to increase output despite sanctions suggests a resilience in its export markets and refining capacity, while Venezuela's production shows year-over-year growth tempered by a slight month-over-month decline.
