The Russian Energy Ministry plans to hold a familiarization tour for colleagues from Saudi Arabia for projects in Siberia in July. Minister Alexander Novak said Saturday.
`In principle. we are planning such a familiarization tour. everything will depend on whether our colleagues have time. Perhaps they will only fly in for the meeting [of the Vienna Agreement monitoring committee]. If there is an opportunity to devote one day to excursions. we will certainly offer them.` Novak told reporters.
In November 2016. the OPEC member states signed an agreement in Vienna limiting oil production by 1.2 million barrels per day. On December 10. 11 non-OPEC countries decided to jointly cut oil output by 558.000 barrels per day. with Russia cutting its output by 300.000 barrels per day for six months from January 2017.
