MOSCOW, April 29 (Reuters) - Russian Energy Minister
Alexander Novak said on Wednesday that foreign-operated as well
as domestic oil projects in the country will reduce output,
pro-rata, as part of a global pact to cut crude production,
Interfax news agency reported.
International oil majors, such as ExxonMobil and
Shell, are involved in several oil and gas projects in
Russia operated under production-sharing agreements signed in
the 1990s.
Novak also said Russian companies will cut their production
by 19% from February levels as part of the global pact to reduce
oil output.
