China has bought three shipments of Arctic crude oil, including the sour and dense Arco variety, for delivery in January or February, according to the company.

According to the data, the first shipments to China occurred in November.

Analyst firm Kpler said China's latest round of purchases included the lighter Novy Port oil, as well as Varandey crude oil.

Earlier, Candidate of Technical Sciences Alexander Vlasov, in an interview with the Economics Today FBA, expressed the opinion that in 2023 Russia will continue to increase the export of energy resources to friendly countries.

According to him, the reduction in production by OPEC+ will have a significant impact on the situation, as prices will rise.

As Vlasov added, India, China and Turkey have become the main consumers of energy resources from Russia in the coming years.
