>Russia’s crude oil production plunged by the most in 18 months in December, pincered by western sanctions that are causing the nation’s barrels to pile up at sea and a surge of Ukrainian drone attacks on its energy infrastructure.
>The nation pumped an average 9.326 million barrels a day of crude oil last month, according to people with knowledge of government data, who asked not to be identified discussing classified information. The figure — which doesn’t include output of condensate — is more than 100,000 barrels a day below November, and almost 250,000 barrels a day lower than Russia is [allowed to pump](https://opec.org/pr-detail/579-02-november-2025.html) under agreement with the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies.
>The slump comes at a time when Ukraine has been carrying out wide ranging drone attacks on Russian oil infrastructure — directly curbing output and affecting refineries that consume the barrels. At the same time, Russian cargoes are amassing at sea amid signs of reticence among some buyers to take them following sweeping US sanctions targeting the nation’s two largest producers, [Rosneft PJSC](https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/ROSN:RM) and [Lukoil PJSC](https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/LKOH:RM).
>Russia’s Energy Ministry didn’t immediately respond to a Bloomberg request for comment on the December crude production figures. It’s a public holiday in Russia.
>The December decline was also the deepest since June 2024 — a period when Russia was supposed to be cutting its production anyway under an agreement with OPEC+.
>The producer group [agreed](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-03/opec-to-begin-long-delayed-supply-restart-amid-trump-pressure) to return barrels to the market between April and December 2025, and then [hold output steady](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-01-04/opec-sticks-with-plan-to-keep-oil-supply-steady-delegates-say) in the first quarter of 2026.
>Until December, Russia’s output had been rising, even if growth had been petering out before year end. Russia’s required level of production for the final month of 2025 was 9.574 million barrels a day, according to OPEC data.

The Russian oil industry really looks like its dying right now.
This last summer I saw that even the biggest Russian oil company is heading for bankruptcy this year based on the scale of its losses. And the situation has become much worse since then.
Russia is financially falling apart.
