MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Global oil prices may reach $90 – 110 dollars per barrel in the long-term perspective if they fail to rebound to $60-80 per barrel in the nearest future and cause industry to mothball the existing production projects instead of opening new ones, Russian oil giant Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin said.
Sechin noted that the current oil prices do not reflect the market realities and due to the expensive extraction, the fair price for a gallon of oil should be standing between $60 and $100.
Since June, 2014 the global oil prices have fallen by more than 50 percent due to the market oversupply.
Earlier in February Bloomberg reported citing the oilfield services company Halliburton that the US oil industry is currently examining the opportunity of re-fracking some 50,000 existing oil wells “using techniques that didn’t exist when they were first drilled.”
