Wiki doesn't always get it right. I gave you a 2014 link that says otherwise. Regardless, what is most important is who is the biggest exporter. The Saudis are still number one.

The Russians are locked into oil revenue as there major source of income. They are subject to the ups and downs of the oil market. They are a gas station masquerading as a country. They are also a country rife with corruption.

May 2014--Russian oil output, the world's largest, slipped by 0.2 percent to 10.54 million barrels per day in April, declining for the fourth month in a row as production from new fields failed to offset a slowdown from mature deposits.

This is the longest streak of declining monthly output for years and is a negative signal for the state budget, half of whose revenues come from sales of oil and gas.
