Energy security/ Overproduction of oil
The price of in 2015 may recover up to
$60-$70 per barrel, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak in an interview
with Rossiiskaya Gazeta on Friday.
"If it will be in the $60-70 range,
that would be good, and I think it could grow to that level," he said.
However, the minister thinks that the
drastic drop in oil prices has nothing to do with the economic "war
against Russia."
"The drop in prices is a result of
several factors; First of all, it is of course, it is the overproduction of oil
that has upset the balance. And the disbalance did not happen now, it happened
three years ago, when the price of oil soared to $110 per barrel," Novak
said. He explained that the three years of the overproduction offset was compensated
by the reduced production in Iraq and Libya.
