Russian Oil Flows Keep Falling, Pipeline Giant Transneft Says
Oil flows on the Transneft pipeline network, which handles 80% of all the oil Russia produces, fell last year and continue to slide in 2025, too, due to the OPEC+ agreement to withhold supply and technological issues at Russia's oil-producing sites, the pipeline giant said on Friday. Due to the falling oil flows, Transneft doesn't expect its revenue to grow at the same pace as in the past decade until about 2030, the company's first deputy CEO Maxim Grishanin was quoted as saying by Russian news agency Interfax. Tariffs on shipments of crude oil and oil products via the extensive pipeline network is the key source of revenue for Transneft. The oil volumes flowing through the Transneft network have been falling since 2022 and have continued to decline this year, too, Grishanin said. Last year, the volume of crude oil pumped through Transneft's pipelines fell by 2.8% compared to 2023, chief executive Nikolai Tokarev said today. Meanwhile, the combined net profits of Russia's oil and gas companies nearly halved in the first quarter of 2025 from a year earlier, while petroleum revenues for the budget fell with the decline in oil prices in April and May. The drop in oil prices, the tightening of Western sanctions, and the stronger Russian ruble have combined to weigh on company profitability. Every third ruble going into Russia's budget comes from the oil and gas companies. Russia said at the end of April it expects 24% lower revenues from oil and gas this year compared to earlier estimates, following the oil price crash that began in early April and sank the price of its flagship Urals crude close to the $50 per barrel mark. In addition, Russia's National Wealth Fund, a rainy-day reserves fund, saw its liquid assets drop by the equivalent of nearly $6 billion in May, data from the Russian finance ministry showed earlier this month.

Saudi Arabia leads OPEC+ push for more output increases
-- OPEC+ is preparing to discuss another large production increase at its upcoming meeting, as Saudi Arabia continues its strategy to regain market share, according to a report from Bloomberg. Eight key OPEC+ members have already implemented three consecutive monthly production increases of 411,000 barrels per day. Multiple delegates, speaking on condition of anonymity, indicated their countries are open to considering a similar increase for August when the group meets on July 6. Saudi Arabia has guided the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries toward faster output restoration despite weak demand and abundant supply. This unexpected policy shift briefly pushed oil prices to a four-year low in April. Russia's position has also evolved. After initially resisting the accelerated July output increase at the previous meeting, Moscow now appears more willing to support another supply boost if the alliance deems it necessary, according to a source familiar with Russia's stance.
