Offshore-technology.com, September 6, 2018: Russia is set to reap record revenues from the upstream oil and gas sector in ruble terms over the next six years.

With prices having remained over $70/bbl in recent months, the combination of this tax change, production growth and a weakened ruble mean that government revenues from the oil and gas sector are forecast to exceed their 2014 peak in ruble terms.
