MOSCOW, June 27. /TASS/. Russia fully complies with the terms of the agreement on oil production cap between OPEC and non-OPEC nations at the moment, the country’s Deputy Energy Minister Kirill Molodtsov said Tuesday.
"The Russian Federation fully complies with all parameters offered," he said.
On May 25, OPEC and non-OPEC countries agreed in Vienna to extend the existing level of oil production cut (1.8 mln barrels daily) until April 2018.
The quota of oil output cut by the OPEC countries and 11 independent oil producers remained the same - 1.8 million barrels per day (Russia accounts for 300,000 barrels).
