Russia’s oil processing climbed to the highest since early April, making up for a recent decline caused by logistical constraints.

Refineries processed around 5.7 million barrels of crude a day from Dec. 7 to Dec. 13, up about 368,000 barrels a day from the first six days of the month, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
