Russian oil production is reportedly up year over year, but domestic consumption is growing even faster, thus. . . lower oil exports. Russia should soon--probably this year--start reporting lower year over year crude oil production. Note that even though oil exports were down, cash flow was up (because oil prices went up faster than exports fell). This will change as domestic consumption gets closer to production.
