The International Energy Agency highlights that Russian exports increased by 50,000 barrels per day to 8.3 million bpd last month.

Despite Western sanctions, Russia's oil exports rose in April to the highest level since the start of the Ukraine war, boosting revenues by $1.7 billion, the International Energy Agency highlighted on Tuesday.

The Paris-based organization indicated that Russian exports increased by 50,000 barrels per day to 8.3 million bpd last month, estimating that the country did not fully deliver on a threat to cut production sharply.

"Indeed, Russia may be boosting volumes to make up for lost revenue," the IEA said in its monthly oil market report.

The country's oil export revenues rose by $1.7 billion to $15 billion in April.

The figure, however, was 27% lower than the same month in 2022. Russia's tax receipts from its oil and gas sector were down by 64% year-on-year, the agency added.

The Group of Seven wealthy nations and Australia have set price caps on Russian petroleum products and crude in coordination with the European Union.

The EU has also imposed sanctions on the country's key oil exports.

In response, Russia threatened to cut off countries and companies that comply with the price cap. It also announced a production cut of 500,000 barrels per day while its allies in the OPEC+ group of oil producers, including Saudi Arabia, also agreed to slash output.

The IEA said Russia's crude output held "broadly steady" in April at 9.6 million barrels per day and that the country must cut a further 300,000 barrels per day in May to bring itself into line.

The agency said China and India accounted for nearly 80% of Russian crude export destinations.

China's emergence from nearly three years of Covid restrictions is also expected to lift world oil demand this year as the IEA raised its forecast by 2.2 million bpd to an average of 102 million bpd. This is 200,000 bpd above the previous forecast.

"China's demand recovery continues to surpass expectations, with the country setting an all-time record in March" at 16 million bpd.
