Reuters reports the ministry to have said on Sunday that its level of compliance with an OPEC+ agreement was close that recorded in June, when it stood at 99 percent.

Energy ministry data published earlier on Sunday by Interfax news agency showed that Russia's oil and gas condensate production had increased to 9.37 million barrels per day (bpd) in July, up from 9.32 million bpd in June.

Under the OPEC+ agreement, Russia pledged to cut its output to around 8.5 million bpd in May-July to support oil prices.

The deal does not include output of gas condensate, a light oil.

According to Reuters, the cuts under the global deal should be eased starting from August because of a recovery in oil prices LCOc1. Russia has said it would increase its oil production by 400,000 bpd.
