Russia exceeded its crude production commitment for April and will soon present OPEC and its allies with a plan to make up for the extra output, the country’s Energy Ministry said Thursday.

“The overproduction was due to technicalities of making significant output cuts,” the ministry said in a statement on its official Telegram account, adding that Russia remains committed to its voluntary curbs within the current OPEC+ deal.
