While Europe used to be the largest market for Russian oil exports, Saudi Arabia has recently sent a record number of oil tankers to Egypt.
The shipment data compiled by Bloomberg shows that as of March, Saudis
daily oil exports to Egypt reached 1.3 million barrels, the highest
level in at least 3 years.To get more news about

The freights will be shipped to a terminal at the southern end of Suez
Canal, where theyll be further transferred to the storage and
exportation facilities in the Mediterranean region.
At the beginning of March, Saudi already began cutting official price
of oil exported to Europe by an unprecedented level, which makes the
actual price of oil sold to Europe to be US$10 / barrel.
As the global oil demand is experiencing a historical slump(down by 26
million barrel per day, according to statistics from Goldman Sachs),
European oil plants are reducing their output to avoid excessive
inventory.
But Saudis ramping up of crude export to Europe can slash Russian oil export by 1 million barrels per day.
The greatest challenge facing Russian oil industry is the permanent
loss of capacity after part of the producers with higher costs are
crushed by Saudi‘s move. A HFI research estimates that about 10% of
Russian’s oil producing capacity will be lost irreversibly and Russias
daily output will reduce by 500 thousand to 1 million barrels
permanently.
The energy sector is seeing perhaps one of the most frantic moments in history, with the pricing getting out of control.
