Russia to raise oil output, exports

Last year, Russia increased its total crude production by 51.3 million barrels yet yearly exports grew by 146.6 million barrels of oil. “We also see growing conversion ratio this year. It means export volumes will become higher. Hence the export volume will grow in comparison to 2015,” Novak told Russian reporters.
