Russia's Tatneft to see first crude output drop in years in 2018 on OPEC/non-OPEC deal Russia's Tatneft expects its 2018 crude output to fall by 0.6% on the year due to the country's production limitations under the OPEC/non-OPEC output cut deal, which was extended last week until the end of next year, the company said Monday, signalling the first production drop after years of steady growth. No significant inventory draw expected in Q1 2018, says Saudi's Falih No significant oil inventory draws are expected in the next four months, Saudi energy minister Khalid al-Falih said Monday, meaning the global oil markets will not reach balance. More US refinery activity should yield crude draw, product builds Increased US refinery utilization following autumn maintenance likely drew crude barrels out of storage and pushed product inventories higher last week, consistent with seasonal norms for this time of year.
