Partner of consulting company RusEnergy Michael Krutikhin suggests that in the next 2-6 months, we should expect further fall in oil prices on the world market, according to news Agency “national news service”.
“Here almost in the same position deliveries from Russia and Saudi Arabia, and we see once abandon Saudi oil, which is cheaper than Russian with huge discounts, it means that previously these same buyers have refused Russian oil”, – said the expert.

“According to different estimates, a full population can be expected within 2-6 months. Thus, the U.S. position is better, there are more of these stores also construct a temporary. But in other countries this is not happening,” said Krutikhin.
He believes that filling the storage would provoke a further fall in the prices of raw materials. The cost of Russian oil makes it uncompetitive in the circumstances.

He said that the cost of Russian oil when it is shipped in tankers, and is not at the wellhead – about 42 dollars per barrel.
