Russia's upstream under sanctions: the new normal
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Russia's upstream industry has shown resilience to EU/US sanctions, despite delays to over US$10 billion of IOC funded exploration activity in key supply growth areas - Arctic offshore, deepwater and shale oil projects. In spite of limited financial support from the State due to lower budget revenues, Russian energy companies have raised around US$14 billion from Chinese sources, allowing them to continue with flagship projects. Russian oil production has not been affected in the near term, and reached a post-Soviet peak of 10.91 million b/d in March 2016. We believe sanctions pose longer term risks that will impact Russian oil production post 2020.
