So says Russian 1st dep energy min Texler

  • it's necessary to agree on output freeze
  • sees 900k bpd leaving market if freeze agreed
  • no output cuts have been discussed
  • oil companies in Russia not opposed to freezing output at Jan level
  • no one wants oil prices to significantly rise as costly projects would return

Yep but least Chelsea would have more money to spend on new players/manager in the Summer.

  • Iran should be interested in freeze deal too as it will get higher prices for its oil

Inspired comment. Where do these guys find such wisdom?

  • even if Iran does not join output freeze deal there will still be an effect
  • Russia plans to increase oil production in 2016 by 1.55 yy
  • a price of $35-40 will allow Russian oil sector to move forward

Uncertainties adding to oil price retreat this morning.

Currently Brent at $33.67 and WTI $30.13
