Alliance Oil, a Stockholm-listed producer and refiner that operates in Russia, estimated that output would miss its target by 10 percent.
Average oil output for the year will reach 18 million barrels, compared with a target of 20 million barrels, Alliance said Tuesday. That is still higher than last year's 16 million barrels. Refining will probably rise to 26.5 million barrels, or 6 percent more than planned.
Alliance's net income fell to $63 million in the third quarter from $85.4 million a year earlier because of a foreign exchange loss, while earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization climbed 38 percent to $173.9 million, according to its web site.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
