REGIONAL REPORT RUSSIA Russian oil and gas lose world supremacy, despite increasing production 0.7%.

摘要

In 2014, Russia was no longer the worlds No.l hydrocarbon producer (oil and natural gas, combined), having given up this statistical position to the U.S. Still, during 2014, according to Roskom-stat and the Russian Federation (RF) Energy Ministry, the country's production increased 0.7%, to 526.73 MMt (10.58 MMbpd) of crude oil and gas condensate, including 24.469 MMt (570,000 bpd) of lease condensate. This is a post-Soviet record high. Oil and condensate production in December 2014 hit 10.67 MMbpd, also a record high since the Soviet Union collapsed. The data showed that Russia's smaller producers, mostly privately held, increased their output 11%, to just over 1.0 MMbopd.
