"Russia is reducing its oil production in stages, in accordance with the plans that we worked out voluntarily with our production companies," Alexander Novak told CNBC during an exclusive interview in Arkhangelsk, Russia.
"The decrease in production in January and February were ahead of tempo with regards our initial plans.
Currently, in March we have already reached a reduction level of 200,000 barrels a day.
Russia plans to fulfill its obligations to cut oil output in line with the agreement between oil producing countries by the end of April, while more broadly assessing longer-term structural developments in the market, according to the country`s energy minister.
We anticipate complying with the figure set forth in the agreement by the end of April," he revealed, noting this would constitute a reduction of 300,000 barrels of oil per day.
