Spox: Rosneft CEO does not contradict Russia readiness to back OPEC
MOSCOW, Oct 11 (PRIME) -- The Kremlin does not see Igor Sechin, CEO of oil major Rosneft, contradicting position of President Vladimir Putin regarding Russia’s readiness to curtail oil output, spokesman for Putin Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday.
Sechin told Reuters that Rosneft will not cut or freeze production despite Putin’s comments and OPEC’s agreement to limit daily oil output at 32.5–33.0 million barrels.
“No, you know, in fact, Sechin’s words were given out of context in this case. This is firstly. Since his answer was much longer and more detailed. We see no contradiction here,” Peskov said, adding that Russia’s official position means readiness to cap production.
