Urals exports from Primorsk are set at 4.5 million tonnes, 300,000 tonnes higher than March, while exports from Ust-Luga are unchanged month-on-month at 3 million tonnes.

Urals and Siberian Light crude oil exports from Novorossiisk are set at 2.72 million tonnes in April, compared to 2.87 million tonnes in a March plan.

The rise in Russian crude oil exports in April is due to the spring maintenance season at Russian domestic refineries.
