Iran Touts Russia's Plan to Invest in Its Oil With Sanctions Looming - Bloomberg:
Iran said Russia is ready to invest as much as $50 billion in its oil industry even as Western majors are pulling out of deals with the republic amid the threat of U.S. sanctions.
President Vladimir Putin has confirmed the spending plan, with at least three deals worth some $15 billion already on the table, Ali Akbar Velayati, foreign policy adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, said in Moscow Friday. Russia is ready to invest in crude exploration and production, as well as refining, he said.
Iranian news agencies published similar comments from Velayati on Thursday, following his meeting then with President Putin in the Russian capital. Russian companies that have been in talks with Iran on joint hydrocarbon projects wouldn’t comment on the outcome when contacted by Bloomberg. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also declined to comment on Velayati’s statements.

Russia Says OPEC+ Could Boost Oil Supply More Than Pledged - Bloomberg
Russia Says OPEC+ Could Boost Oil Supply More Than Pledged - Bloomberg:
OPEC and its allies could boost oil production by more than the 1 million barrels a day agreed last month if needed, Russia’s Energy Minister Alexander Novak said.
“I can’t rule out that if there is a need for more than 1 million barrels we will be able to quickly discuss it all together and make all necessary decisions,” Novak told reporters in Moscow on Friday. The producers have “all needed tools,” if necessary, he said.
Oil prices have remained near their highest in more than three years despite pledges by Russia, Saudi Arabia and their allies last month to boost production. Supplies are being strained by deepening losses in Venezuela, erratic flows from Libya and the prospect of renewed U.S. sanctions on Iran which could curb its exports.
