Oil output from LUKoil may drop under its new 10-year strategy, as the company redirects investment to the Caspian region, Iraq and West Africa, RIA-Novosti reported Tuesday, citing chief executive Vagit Alekperov.
The company’s crude production will probably slump to about 90 million metric tons this year from 97.6 million tons last year, the agency reported. LUKoil plans to invest more than $10 billion annually over the next five to six years.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
