Russia's Gazprom Neft: output cuts should be eased this summer

ST PETERSBURG (Reuters) - Alexander Dyukov, the head of Russian oil major Gazprom Neft <SIBN.MM>, said on Friday he supported the possible easing of restrictions on oil production this summer.

He said the magnitude of the easing - "700,000-800,000 barrels per day, or 1 million barrels per day" - should be discussed.

Dyukov also said that oil prices at $50-$60 per barrel would be "fair" and that the company's own hydrocarbon production forecast of 100 million tonnes in 2020 would likely be exceeded.
