Russia shipped 3.71 million barrels per day in the four weeks through August 9, according to vessel-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. Shipments averaged just 3.25 million bpd in the latest week, down from 3.5 million bpd a week earlier. The drop comes just days after industry sources said Russian crude and condensate production rose by roughly 100,000 bpd in July to more than 9 million bpd, helped by stronger exports and a recovery in refinery throughput. Year-to-date seaborne flows are still averaging 3.62 million bpd, about 280,000 bpd above last year’s average. Russia’s crude at sea fell to roughly 107 million barrels as shipments slowed while deliveries to India remained strong.
