The last time Moscow surpassed Riyadh in crude production was in December 2016 when Russia extracted 10.49 million against 10.465 by Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia was a key player in stabilizing the oil market. agreeing to slash its output more than any other OPEC or non-OPEC oil producer. The latest monthly OPEC report showed that the country`s production had fallen by an average of almost 500.000 barrels per day between December and January.
