July crude production rose 100,000 bpd from June, exceeding 9 million bpd amid stronger exports and refinery activity.
Russia’s oil production climbed above 9 million barrels per day in July, up roughly 100,000 bpd from June. The increase was driven by higher export demand and recovering refinery runs, providing outlets for additional output.
OPEC’s June estimate for Russian production stood at 8.928 million bpd. Oil and fuel sales remain vital to Russia’s budget, reinforcing Moscow’s push to sustain output despite sanctions and infrastructure attacks.
The rise underscores Russia’s ability to adapt to market pressures while maintaining critical revenue streams.
