Rosmorrechflot refers to the monthly report of the International Energy Agency (IEA) according to which throughput of Russian ports in January-July 2022 confirm the recovery of global oil output and supply. According to the agency, the world oil supply reached a post-pandemic peak in July after some regions rebounded from scheduled upstream repairs and some ramped up output in line with its OPEC+ pact. IEA says world oil supply hit a post-pandemic high of 100.5 mb/d in July.
