Russia's oil production edged higher in February, to a new post-Soviet high of 10.36 million barrels a day, 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 of 40.98 million metric tons of crude oil and gas condensate in February, which is a 4.8% rise from the same month last year, the ministry's Central Dispatching Department of Fuel Energy Complex said on its website.

Production was up from 10.35 million barrels a day in January.

Of the total, 18.57 million tons of crude oil was exported, a 0.4% increase from February last year.
