Russia's Lukoil opposes prolonged global oil output cuts

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The global oil output cut should not be prolonged, the head of Russia's second biggest oil producer, Lukoil (MM:LKOH), said on Wednesday, Interfax news agency reported.

Lukoil would have to cut its output by 30,000 barrels per day by April under the OPEC and non-OPEC oil deal, but it could still maintain full-year oil output in 2019 at the same level as in 2018, Vagit Alekperov told reporters on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, according to Interfax.
