Russian state-controlled energy giant Rosneft reported on Tuesday that its gas production for 2025 totaled 6 billion cubic meters (bcm), equivalent to 33 million barrels of oil per day, according to the company's annual report as carried by TASS.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, gas output reached 3 bcm, a 4% increase compared to the third quarter. The company attributed the performance to scheduled preventive maintenance at key assets and stated that its primary goal for the near future is to maintain gas production at the current level.

Separately, Rosneft reported that the volume of oil refining in Russia in 2025 amounted to 7 million tons. The company explained the decrease in refining volumes as being due to the need for maintenance and repair works, as well as optimization of refinery utilization amid the current pricing environment, logistics constraints, and demand.

Coverage Comparison

Both reports originate from TASS, Russia's state news agency, and are based on Rosneft's official corporate reporting. The coverage is split into two distinct articles: one focusing on gas production and drilling metrics, the other on oil refining and domestic fuel supply. No independent sources were cited in the provided material, and all figures come directly from Rosneft's own announcements.

While the two articles cover different aspects of the company's operations, together they paint a picture of Rosneft's 2025 performance: stable gas output, a slight dip in refining volumes, and continued focus on domestic fuel supply.
