Urals crude steady as Kazakhstan’s largest oil field fails to hit capacity

Russia's crude oil exports from its western ports are expected to decline in February compared to January, as domestic refinery runs increase and fewer plants undergo scheduled maintenance.

No bids or offers were made on Tuesday for Urals, Azeri BTC and CPC Blend, traders said.

Indian Oil Corporation, the country's largest refiner, has committed to buying more Brazilian crude in the fiscal year starting April, after reducing Russian oil imports.
