Paper Introduction: Russian Oil Industry Introduction Russia is currently the world’s single-largest non-OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) oil exporter, with 10 percent of currently known reserves and 9 percent of world output (Aron, 2002). For about a decade, the Russian oil sector has been privatized, leading since the mid-1990s to a US$5 billion wave of investment in exploration, equipment, and rehabilitation of oil fields damaged by Soviet policies (Aron, 2002). According to analyst Leon Aron (2002), the shift from government-controlled to privatized oil production has resulted in a 15 percent production increase in the past two years and an anticipated increase of 11 percent in 2002 over 2201. In fact, in February of 2002, Russia pumped more oil than Saudi Arabia. Text of the Paper: The entire text of the paper is shown below. However, the text is somewhat scrambled.
