The volume of deliveries of Russian oil and oil products abroad continued to grow in April – in total it amounted to 8.3 million barrels per day (b / d), according to data from the International Energy Agency (IEA). The bulk of exports go to China and India, but new buyers are also emerging. This supports the reduction of the discount – in April, the total average price of Russian oil, taking into account the expensive ESPO grade, rose by $10 per barrel, exceeding the established ceiling of $60 per barrel. However, the main part of deliveries falling on the Urals grade is still sold below this threshold.
