Russia’s seaborne crude shipments eased slightly ahead of a meeting of OPEC+ oil minsters later this month, bringing flows back below the level pledged by Moscow. The move comes after exports surged in October.
About 3.2 million barrels a day of crude was shipped from Russian ports in the week to Nov. 12, tanker-tracking data monitored by Bloomberg show. That was down by 40,000 barrels a day from the period to Nov. 5, but still 700,000 barrels a day above the levels seen in August.
