RUSSIA: THE LARGEST PRODUCER

Russia's economy is highly dependent on its hydrocarbons, and oil and natural gas revenues account for more than 40% of the federal budget revenues.

OFFSHORE OIL PRODUCTION: 30%
Global offshore oil production (including lease condensate and hydrocarbon gas liquids) in 2015 was at the highest level since 2010, and accounted for nearly 30% of total global oil production. Offshore oil production increased in both 2014 and 2015, reversing consecutive annual declines from 2010 to 2013. Production from onshore tight oil plays has increased faster over the past several years and accounts for an increasing amount of total oil production.

ПРАВИЛЬНОЕ РЕШЕНИЕ
«Самое сильное и продолжительное падение цен на рынке за последние 45 лет в условиях нехватки финансирования рискует обернуться дефицитом ресурсов, который приведет к непредсказуемым скачкам цен и в конечном счете сильно ударит по потребителям. В текущей ситуации «заморозка» или даже сокращение добычи на определенное время – правильное решение для мировой энергетики», – подчеркнул Александр Новак.
