Russia has been forced to acknowledge that the era of windfall profits from its oil and gas sector has come to an end, according to the Center for Countering Disinformation on January 2.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s Ministry of Finance has warned<\/a> that oil and gas revenues are set to decline both in the medium and long term. <\/p>\n

Based on the ministry\u2019s estimates, the share of oil and gas income in the federal budget\u2014which stood at around 50% several years ago\u2014is expected to fall to 23% this year and continue decreasing in the coming years.<\/p>\n

Officially, Russian authorities attribute the downturn to the depletion of low-cost hydrocarbon reserves, avoiding any direct reference to the war against Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, it is precisely the war and the sanctions that have dealt the strongest blow to oil and gas revenues,\u201d the center added. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Russian oil shipments to India are continuing. Bloomberg reported on January 2 that tankers carrying<\/a> almost 2.2 million barrels of Russia\u2019s Urals crude are currently sailing to India\u2019s largest refinery, the Jamnagar complex operated by Reliance Industries on the country\u2019s western coast. <\/p>\n

Vessel-tracking data analyzed by Kpler indicates the cargoes are expected to arrive later this month, pointing to a renewed flow of Russian crude to India despite tighter US sanctions. <\/p>\n

Earlier, it was reported that Russia could have forfeited<\/a> \u201ctrillions of dollars\u201d as a result of international agencies undervaluing its oil and petroleum products.<\/p>\n
