Russian state oil company Rosneft has signed a landmark 10-year agreement to supply 500,000 barrels of crude oil per day to India's Reliance Industries (RIL), marking the largest energy deal ever between the two countries. The agreement, valued at approximately $13 billion annually at current prices, represents 0.5% of global oil supply.

Under the terms of the deal, Rosneft will deliver 20-21 Aframax-sized cargoes of various Russian crude grades and three cargoes of fuel oil monthly to Reliance's Jamnagar refining complex, the world's largest, in Gujarat. The supplies are scheduled to begin in January, with an option to extend the agreement for an additional 10 years.

The pricing structure includes differentials to Dubai crude prices, with Russian Urals crude, which makes up the majority of the supply, to be priced at a $3 per barrel discount. Light sweet grades like ESPO, Sokol, and Siberian Light will carry premiums ranging from $1 to $2 per barrel.

This agreement significantly expands the existing relationship between the two companies. From January to October, Reliance had been importing an average of 405,000 barrels per day of Russian oil, an increase from 388,500 barrels per day during the same period last year. The new arrangement will account for approximately half of Rosneft's seaborne oil exports from Russian ports.

The deal was approved during Rosneft's board meeting in November and both companies will conduct annual reviews of pricing and volumes to account for market dynamics.
