Russia, the world’s biggest oil producer, increased crude and condensate production by 1 percent in July from a year earlier to 10.43 million barrels a day, near a post-Soviet record.

Daily output fell 0.7 percent from June, when it set the record, according to preliminary data sent by e-mail today from the Energy Ministry’s CDU-TEK unit in Moscow. Soviet-era production in Russia peaked at 11.48 million barrels in 1987.
