Russia not part of the oil price war, says energy minister
Pavel Sorokin, Russia's deputy energy minister, has stated that the country is not in an oil price war with Saudi Arabia and will not be reducing production due to market uncertainty caused by the coronavirus outbreak. Sorokin revealed that Russia can up its oil output to 11.8 million barrels per day, but it would still not be sufficient to match Saudi Arabia's promised supply of 12+ million BPD in April.
