\tWhile OPEC is said to be mostly leaning toward a nine-month extension of the production cuts, Russia\u2019s Energy Minister Alexander Novak and major Russian oil companies discussed last week a six-month extension after March 2018, and all but one company said they were ready to extend, Russia\u2019s TASS news agency reported on Tuesday, quoting two sources who had attended the meeting.
\tA possible six-month extension proposal from Russia is shorter than the market is largely expecting\u2014nine months through the end of 2018. It could also put Russia on a collision course with Saudi Arabia, its key partner in the OPEC and non-OPEC deal to curb production to erase the glut and prop up oil prices, Oil Price reported.
\tIn early October, Russia\u2019s President Vladimir Putin said Russia was open to extending the production cut deal, but echoed other officials\u2019 comments at that time that it was too early to decide.
\t\u201cIf we speak about a possible extension, then of course, it should be at least until the end of 2018,\u201d Bloomberg quoted Putin as saying at an energy forum in Russia.
\tBut a month and a half later, with Brent trading above $60 for more than three weeks, there is growing talk and speculation that Russia might walk away from the deal, or try to stall either the taking or the announcement of the decision, because it does not see such announcement as urgent as many of OPEC\u2019s producers.
\t\u201cExtending the deal was discussed. Everyone except Gazprom Neft agreed, because the company will launch new projects in 2018,\u201d one of TASS sources said, adding that Rosneft\u2014the biggest Russian oil producer led by Putin\u2019s close ally Igor Sechin\u2014did not voice disagreement over extending the cuts.
\tLast month, a senior Gazprom Neft executive said the company was “holding its nose” to the production cut deal because it had made the company cut its production growth targets.
\tRussian oil firms are\u00a0said to be balking\u00a0at a further extension, arguing that their production restrictions are only benefiting others while Russian companies have to cut back from new projects in which they have heavily invested.\u00a0Almost all countries part of the deal have expressed readiness to extend the pact, so the only remaining question is when the decision should be taken\u2014at the meeting next week, or at an extraordinary meeting early next year, a TASS source in OPEC said.<\/p>\n
