Russia's crude oil production has significantly decreased, averaging 1,254 metric tons per day in 2024, the lowest since 2005.
The decline is attributed to the impact of Ukrainian drone strikes, leading to repairs at oil refineries, which are at their lowest production levels since 2012.
As the third-largest oil producer globally, Russia's oil revenue is critical, accounting for over 12% of worldwide crude output.
Western sanctions and a $60 price cap on seaborne oil have aimed to limit Russia's funding post-invasion of Ukraine.
Analysts suggest that despite current challenges, Russia's oil industry could recover if equipment supplies improve and demand remains steady.
