Russia's oil production remained stable in March, touching the post-Soviet high of 10.36 million barrels a day reached in the previous month, as increased capital spending helped stabilize falling output in West Siberia, Energy Ministry data showed Friday.

Russia--the world's biggest oil producer ahead of Saudi Arabia--produced a total 43.80 million metric tons of crude oil and gas condensate in March, which is a 1.6% rise from the same month last year, data from the ministry's Central Dispatching Department of Fuel Energy Complex showed.

Of the total, 20.61 million tons of crude oil was exported, 2.6% less than in March last year.
