Russia dismisses ‘gas Opec’ suggestions at Doha meeting

Russia’s energy minister yesterday poured scorn on suggestions that gas exporters would announce a “gas Opec” at a meeting in Doha next week, pledging that Russia would never take part in such an organisation.
Leading producers are to meet in Doha on Monday at the Gas Exporting Countries Forum amid reports they have been working on an Iran-backed plan to form a club to control prices.
“Are we going to sign up to a (gas) price policy? Of course not,” Industry and Energy Minister Viktor Khristenko told a news conference.
