The Russia government has ordered that the publication of statistics on oil, gas and condensate production be suspended until April 1, 2024, Tass news agency said on Friday.
It did not give any details. Russia's statistics agency Rosstat omitted monthly oil production data from its latest economic report published on Wednesday.

Meanwhile the United States is producing 12.5 million barrels a day.
It’s probably getting some of their customers in trouble for violating Neocon sanctions, given how much Russia is exporting versus how much customers claim they’re getting from Russia (meaning a big Russian number but smaller sum of claimed imports means lots of oil is going...somewhere).
Price cap + Urals sludge discount + 30% discount to China and India. Not a surprise that Putin wants to hide the decline.
Oil output is a dicey measurement because all oil is not created equal. Russia has in the past reported production in metric tonnes rather than barrels.
Russia’s oil is, of course, energy superior to shale oil that has less diesel constituent portionality per unit volume (barrel). So this means the generic divisor to calculate tonnes —> barrel is dependent on the converting divisor, and often people pull a number out of the air for that that does not reflect the extra middle distillate content.
Regardless, Russia oil output is likely, with a constant tonnes/barrels divisor (even if it’s wrong, hold it constant), approximately 5% below Jan 2020 (pre virus).
Latest measure Russian domestic consumption is 3.4 million barrels/day with that divisor.
US output 12.3 million bpd, consumption about 19 million bpd, still down slightly from pre virus.
That is a 6 mbpd surplus vs about 6 mbpd deficit.
You're so utterly stupid that you don't realize that is proxy and sanction war has turned all of them against us. That is going to be they will restrict oil supply worldwide, increase oil prices and inflation.
“+ 30% discount to China and India”
Try catching up with the times on that one - more like 10-15%
“Average discounts for Urals were at $13 per barrel to dated Brent on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis in Indian ports and $9 to ICE Brent in Chinese ports”
While Russia has suffered thousands of losses in its war against Ukraine, a senior US military commander in Europe told lawmakers Wednesday that they have plenty more firepower left in their arsenal.
“[T]he Russian ground force has been degenerated somewhat by this conflict, although it is bigger today than it was at the beginning of the conflict,” Gen. Christopher Cavoli, the commander of US European Command, told the House Armed Services Committee.
“The Air Force has lost very little, they’ve lost 80 planes. They have another 1,000 fighters and fighter bombers,” he said. “The Navy has lost one ship.”
And, it's Ukraine that has been destroying churches, banning opposition parties and media outlets and imprisoning opposition leaders.
What happens in Ukraine if forerunner of what political class wants to do here. And, scum like Marcus is all behind it.
Putin oil stronk as bull!
Meanwhile, Vlad reigned down another rocket attack all across Ukraine. Bakmut’s Ukie meatgrinder accelerating. It is now a Ukie slaughter, compliments of the corrupted little beggar.

All of the cruise missiles but 2 were shot down by Ukrainian AD.
2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine
5 Raptor-class patrol boats — On 22 March 2022, a video appeared of a Raptor-class patrol boat being hit and damaged by an ATGM. According to Russian sources, it had to be towed away afterwards.[25] On the first week of May 2022, Ukrainian forces using Bayraktar TB2 drones attacked four Raptor-class boats (in addition to one BK-16 high speed assault boat, mentioned below) near Snake Island. The extent of the damage was not initially known,[26][27][28] but it emerged that three boats were destroyed[29] while one of the Raptor boats withstood the damage and was filmed in Sevastopol for repairs.[30]
Saratov — On 24 March 2022, a Russian Navy Alligator-class landing ship that was docked in Berdiansk, Ukraine, caught fire. The Ukrainian military claimed that they had hit it, that it was destroyed and that it was the Orsk.[31] Later the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces claimed that Saratov had been destroyed.[32] Two other Russian ships, the Caesar Kunikov, and the Novocherkassk, that were docked nearby sailed away, with fire and smoke billowing out of one.[33][34][35] On 2 July 2022, Russian official said the ship was scuttled back in March by its own crew in order “to prevent detonation of the on-board munitions by the fire that had started” due to a Tochka-U ballistic missile that hit the port. Also it became known that Saratov has been salvaged and will be towed to Kerch, Crimea.[36]
Moskva — On 13 April 2022, two Ukrainian officials said that the Slava-class cruiser had been hit by Ukrainian Neptune anti-ship missiles and was on fire in heavy seas. The Russian Ministry of Defense said the ship was seriously damaged after a fire caused a munitions explosion. The next day, Russian officials said that the ship had sunk while being towed to port.[37]
BK-16 high-speed assault boat - In the first week of May 2022, a video appeared of a Ukrainian Bayraktar TB2 drone hitting and sinking a high-speed assault boat near Snake Island.[29] The wreck was later recovered.[38]
Serna-class landing craft - On 7 May 2022, a video appeared of a Ukrainian Bayraktar TB2 drone hitting and sinking a landing craft on Snake Island.[39][40]
Veliky Ustyug - On 17 June 2022, a photo emerged of the ship being towed on the Volga River in a damaged state. The Buyan-M-class corvette had participated in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[41][42]
Vasily Bekh — On 17 June 2022, Ukraine claimed to have sunk the rescue tug (Russian: Спасатель, “Spasatel”) Vasily Bekh with two Harpoon missiles causing it to sink shortly thereafter.[43] Shortly after the sinking, on 21 June, British military intelligence confirmed the attack, stating that the vessel sunk was almost certainly Vasily Bekh.[44]
Ivan Golubets - On 29 October 2022, Ukrainian forces used an Unmanned Aerial and Submarine Vehicle to strike Russian forces in Sevastopol, Crimea. According to Russia, Ukrainian UAVs slightly damaged the Natya-class minesweeper.[45]
Russia getting oil from Iran in trade for heavy water?.
Highly unlikely, due to the WELL publicized fact ( acknowledged by even the Western MSM),the Ukies are nearly out of AA. 80 missiles were launched by Vlad and according to a Ukie BuK commander near Donetsk, their Buk stores are nearly exhausted….which explains why Vlad is once again flying huge sorties across the Bakmut and Avdika salients.Believe what you want to believe, but you are well advised to consult non Western MSM.

Carry on.
Reported by even western news, I will give you the Russian, you can find the vague western report- fact, Nikolayev was whacked hard ( Ukie port) taking out 20 senior Ukies. I guess that was the “ one”/ 80 that made it.
“A missile attack on the night of April 27 on the territory of a shipbuilding plant in Nikolaev destroyed about 20 senior Ukrainian and foreign officers who held a meeting there, the foreigners were from English-speaking countries, Sergey Lebedev, coordinator of the Nikolaev underground, told RIA Novosti”

You should consult Slavyangrad from time to time for much video and war porn. Granted, it is pro Russian but their videos always confirm what Russian MOD states, and as the Ukies are silent, it is a good source.
You think he lied to the House Armed Services Committee?
Or, could it be your sources are full of sh#t?
My source was the wikipedia list of Russian naval losses during this recent invasion, what is your source, I didn’t see it.
My source was US General Cavoli, who sited that number before the House Armed Services committee.
That is twice you said a name but what did he say and when did he say it and how does that refute what we know and have seen on video?
Don’t you remember the videos of some of these sinkings?
