Report summary
The outlook for Russia’s upstream in 2025 is more positive than it’s been for the past three years. Both oil and gas production are likely to rise. A key milestone will be met in gas exports to China. The Vostok Oil project will see further investment. Stable levels of hydrocarbon tax revenue will continue to underpin government spending plans. The big unknown is what the return of President Trump will mean for a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia. The outcome of any negotiations will have a profound impact on EU/US sanctions policy towards Russia’s upstream sector. We highlight the five key themes to watch in 2025: • Oil – how much will Russia produce next year? • Vostok Oil – what progress will be made at Rosneft’s flagship project? • Gas – what next for production and export markets? • EU/US sanctions – are they going to ease or tighten? • Fiscal – what changes are on the horizon?
