First of all, for the United States,
The dispute between Russia and the United States was inherited by Russia in the Soviet Union since the Cold War, and naturally this dispute was also inherited. Although there was no tit-for-tat in the Cold War, all sides attacked each other, which is why American reactionaries accused President Trump of communicating with Russia. In terms of energy, the United States began to study shale oil and gas in the last century. With the continuous maturity of horizontal wells and fracturing technology, shale oil and gas exploitation began when Obama was elected. American energy independence strategy? Become the focus of its energy policy. The United States withdrew from the Paris Agreement and completely liberalized domestic oil production. There are no longer any policy obstacles to oil exploration activities. Large-scale hot money has entered this industry. More than 40 major shale oil companies in the United States have negative cash flows in the past three years. In addition, with the mining cost generally between 40 and 50 dollars per barrel, if the oil price falls to 30 dollars per barrel, it will be enough to make a large number of small and medium-sized companies face bankruptcy. 2020 is Trump's election year. If it can cause the oil price to fall below $30, it will inevitably have a huge impact on Trump's election and will also have an impact on the US economy, and Russia is also happy with this result.
Second, for Saudi Arabia,
Although OPEC is composed of many countries, Saudi Arabia is the main leader. When it was necessary to cut production, Saudi Arabia also took on more tasks, which led to Saudi Arabia being forced to cede part of its market share to Russia. After Aziz became the oil minister, he decided to re-establish Saudi Arabia's authority in the oil field and regain its due market share. Russia has tasted the sweetness and will certainly not give in. Naturally, it will oppose the agreement proposed by Opak led by Saudi Arabia. Although Putin's spokesman has repeatedly said that the Kremlin has always kept the door open for holding talks when necessary, I am afraid that only Russia knows when it is necessary.
Third, relying on China,
Russia is the largest energy exporter in the world, but its share in China is relatively small. In 20 14, cooperation with China began to be strengthened, and Sino-Russian energy cooperation suddenly accelerated: from 20 14 to 20 18, Russia surpassed Saudi Arabia and became the largest crude oil importer in China. China's economy is developing day by day, and its demand for energy is increasing day by day. It is the country with the largest demand for energy in the world. The reason for the sharp drop in oil prices is the new type of coronary pneumonia, which was controlled by China and won a phased victory. Now China's energy has begun to focus on economic development. If it can occupy more shares in China, the world's largest market, even if the oil price plummets again, Russia is confident to make enough profits from it. In addition, in order to get rid of its dependence on oil, Russia has vigorously developed basic industries such as agriculture and machinery manufacturing, so that Russia finally has the confidence to advance and retreat freely in the crude oil market.
