Exports of Russia's Urals oil from Baltic Sea seen down in Sept

24 Aug, 2016

MOSCOW: Exports of Russia's Urals crude oil blend from the Baltic Sea port of Primorsk are expected to fall to 4 million tonnes in September from 4.6 million tonnes this month, according to a revised schedule on Wednesday.

The schedule has been raised by 100,000 tonnes due to a loading by Surgutneftegaz due on Sept. 24-25, compared with the 3.9 million tonnes of exports previously expected for the month.

The plan for Urals exports from the Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga remains unchanged, with exports expected to rise by 300,000 tonnes month-on-month to 2.5 million tonnes in September.

Overall September exports from Baltic ports are expected to fall by 300,000 tonnes from August to 6.5 million tonnes.

The schedule for exports of Urals and Siberian Light grades from the Black Sea port of Novorossiisk was also unchanged from the initial plan at 2.85 million tonnes in September, up from 2.2 million in August.
