Russia's top oil producer Rosneft said Thursday that a decision by OPEC to leave its output unchanged despite flagging oil prices would not affect the work of the company.
"The situation on the market does not need sudden measures, nothing extraordinary is happening," Rosneft said in a statement. "Rosneft has a sufficient safety margin, given the fact that [our] net production cost is the lowest in the world — just above $4 a barrel."
Earlier on Thursday, Gulf oil producers led by Saudi Arabia won the case for keeping OPEC output unchanged, overriding calls from poorer members of the exporters' group for action to halt a slide in crude prices.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
