On Friday, Russia announced that it would cut its oil production by 500,000 barrels a day in March, as a response to Western energy sanctions and price caps.[0]<\/a><\/sup> This cut is equivalent to around 5 percent of Russian oil output and could have a major impact on global fuel prices.[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The price caps, which were set by the Group of Seven (G-7) nations, including the United States, are aimed at limiting the funds that the sale of Russian oil will bring to Moscow. In December, the G-7 set a $60\/bbl cap on crude oil originating in Russia. This was followed by two new price caps on seaborne petroleum products that originate in Russia in February. The European Union, the United States, and Australia also implemented price cap policies regulating the maritime transportation of Russian Oil and Russian Petroleum.[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The sanctions have had a major impact on Russia’s oil exports, resulting in a fall in oil export profits. Despite this, Russia’s oil production has been surprisingly resilient, with the country’s output rebounding to produce around 10.9 million barrels per day at the end of 2022.[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The news of the production cut has caused global fuel prices to increase, with U.S. crude futures rising to above $80 per barrel, while Brent crude futures also advanced more than 2% to around $87 per barrel.[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The sharp reduction in Russian oil production is likely to cause global fuel prices to rise further over the next few months. This is likely to create difficulties for Kenyans hoping for lower prices at the pump in the near term.[5]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
