Russia-focused oil producer Exillon Energy said that total average production slipped slightly in January, compared with December.
Average daily output was 10,972 barrels per day (bbl/day), with its Tima-Pechora (TP) operations producing 3,094 bbl/day and West Siberia producing 7,877 bbl/day. Peak daily production was 11,836 bbl/day in January.
This compares with the group average daily production rate of 11,055 bbl/day in December, with TP accounting for the majority of that shortfall. Nevertheless, January's production rate still remained above those seen in the months prior to December.
