Russia Will Cut Oil Exports

Russian Deputy PM announced Sunday Russia will cut oil exports and increase domestic oil consumption in a bid to stabilize world oil prices amid the ongoing financial crisis

Russia Will Cut Oil Exports

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin spoke on the eve of a meeting of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in Vienna, which is set to decide on whether to cut oil output quotas further to keep world oil prices stable.

"We will be cutting oil exports through the expansion of domestic consumption. In particular, we plan to transfer 2 million tons of fuel to agricultural producers and also increase oil refining inside the country," RIA Novosti quoted Sechin as saying.

Sechin urged coordinated action with world oil producers, adding that Russia was ready to consider joining OPEC if all Russian accords and proposals were met.
