Russia's fuel oil output fell 3.9 percent in June to 189,427 tonnes per day, while gas oil production rose 0.1 percent month-on-month to 206,023 tonnes per day, Reuters reports

The numbers come as refineries reportedly processed virtually the same amount of of oil in June as they did in May, at around 5.65 million barrels of crude per day.

Although the Kuibyshev oil refinery reportedly underwent major maintenance as of June 1, reducing its oil product production to nothing in June, such decreases were offset by moves including increased output at Rosneft's Komsomolsk refinery, which rose by almost 150 percent to 161,529 bpd.

Last month, it was reported that weekly residual fuel imports to Singapore nearly tripled on the back of increased shipments from Russia.
