It’s a difference of about 300k tons/yr, but as others have mentioned, the price paid to Russia for these exports have plummeted. So in addition to exporting less, they are also getting paid substantially less as well.
Comfortingly, as the price of oil has fallen and their cost to extract and refine it remains fixed (or increasing with the very high wage inflation rate there), the amount of net profit they get has fallen non-linearly.
I’m in transit so hard to tell visually what the net impact is. Up or down? Appears negligible
Adding up the components, total comes out to 1952k tonnes on the left and 1603k on the right

Yeah I would love to see this converted to prices. Should be easy as we can see the global price of oil.
It looks negligible because the left and right sides don’t both start at the bottom.
Terrible visualisation of what could have been very interesting data.
Thanks for pointing that out. Bad data visualisation strikes again…
It’s clearly down; even downer if we calculate in dollars and not tonnes, as the prices fell.
Comfortingly, as the price of oil has fallen and their cost to extract and refine it remains fixed (or increasing with the very high wage inflation rate there), the amount of net profit they get has fallen non-linearly.
And even more down if you use the net benefit as the Urals breakout price is around 40+ dollars.
Yeah i wish this graph showed how little it is overall compared to 2022
