According to chief executive of Rosneft, Russia is unlikely to work with OPEC to curb global supply glut in a bid to push oil prices higher, which is down more than 60% from its peak last year and down to its lowest point since financial crisis of 2008/09.

According Mr. Sechin, golden age for OPEC has passed and Russia unlike OPEC can't administer oil industry to agree to a quota.
According to Mr. Sechin, cost of oil production has fallen to $3/barrel for Rosneft, due to weaker Rouble, which makes Russia to compete easily with Middle Eastern producers.
