adjustment in the oil market but nobody knows when it is going to happen </a> </h5> <h6> Early March saw the first delivery of Iran oil to Europe after the lifting of the sanctions. This means that the Russian plan to effect a price adjustment in the oil market by getting the majority of oil exporting nations to agree to put a cap on oil production at this January’s level has effectively fallen through. However, is Iran’s decision not to limit its own production that much of a big deal for the market? </h6> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="b-levent__single"> <div class="small mb16 lbrown"> <span class="b-levent__single__date"> 21 march 2016 </span> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="b-levent__single__image"> <img src="/web/20160324135302im_/http://ac.gov.ru/files/s/72x72/files/expert/980___jpg____1401955637_0321d4e4.jpg" style="width: 72px; height: 72px;" alt="Alexander Kurdin"/> </div> <div class="b-levent__single__box"> <p class="mb10"> <span class="purple"> Alexander Kurdin </span> <span class="h6"> Department for Strategic Studies in Energy </span> </p> <h5> <a href="/web/20160324135302/http://ac.gov.ru/en/commentary/08174.html" data-url="/web/20160324135302/http://ac.gov.ru/en/commentary/08174.html" data-toggle="popup"> Oil price between USD 40 and 60 a barrel is acceptable for production but barely enough for investments </a> </h5> <h6> Alexander Kurdin, Head of the Department for Strategic Studies in Energy of the Analytical Center, talked to Nation-news.ru about the situation with the price of oil. Mr. Kurdin believes that a price of about USD 40 a barrel is an equilibrium that can persist for one or two years. If oil falls below USD 40 a barrel, some oil producers will find it hard to make ends meet. </h6> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="b-levent__single"> <div class="small mb16 lbrown"> <span class="b-levent__single__date"> 18 march 2016 </span> <span class="b-levent__single__category"> Lenta.ru </span> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="b-levent__single__image"> <img src="/web/20160324135302im_/http://ac.gov.ru/files/s/72x72/files/expert/980___jpg____1401955637_0321d4e4.jpg" style="width: 72px; height: 72px;" alt="Alexander Kurdin"/> </div> <div class="b-levent__single__box"> <p class="mb10"> <span class="purple"> Alexander Kurdin </span> <span class="h6"> Department for Strategic Studies in Energy </span> </p> <h5> <a href="/web/20160324135302/http://ac.gov.ru/en/commentary/08120.html" data-url="/web/20160324135302/http://ac.gov.ru/en/commentary/08120.html" data-toggle="popup"> Russian oil companies have technologies to get at hard-to-recover oil </a> </h5> <h6> Russia will soon be running out of oil and production is expected to begin to fall off in 2020. That was the warning given by the Minister for Natural Resources and Environment Sergey Donskoy. “We need to be very careful in how we interpret these things: the fact that proven reserves will last 28 years does not mean Russia will have run out of oil by then,” Alexander Kurdin, Head of the Department for Strategic Studies in Energy of the Analytical Center, commented on this situation for lenta.ru. </h6> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="b-levent__single"> <div class="small mb16 lbrown"> <span class="b-levent__single__date"> 17 march 2016 </span> <span class="b-levent__single__category"> Kommersant </span> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="b-levent__single__image"> <img src="/web/20160324135302im_/http://ac.gov.ru/files/s/72x72/files/expert/980___jpg____1401955637_0321d4e4.jpg" style="width: 72px; height: 72px;" alt="Alexander Kurdin"/> </div> <div class="b-levent__single__box"> <p class="mb10"> <span class="purple"> Alexander Kurdin </span> <span class="h6"> Department for Strategic Studies in Energy </span> </p> <h5> <a href="/web/20160324135302/http://ac.gov.ru/en/commentary/08078.html" data-url="/web/20160324135302/http://ac.gov.ru/en/commentary/08078.html" data-toggle="popup"> Deals with foreign investors increase the value of the state’s stake </a> </h5> <h6> Rosneft is selling 50% in its Vankor deposit to India. A memorandum of understanding has been signed with ONGC. In this manner the company is trying to solve as many problems having to do with sanctions as possible in the run-up to privatization not to run into any restrictions because of financial problems.
