Russia hopes possible global oil deal to stabilize crude prices

TAZOVSKY, Russia (Reuters) - A possible agreement among global leading oil producers on capping crude output would help to stabilize global oil prices, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich said on Tuesday.

Dvorkovich, who oversaw the launch of an oilfield owned by Russia's second-largest oil company Lukoil, also said the much-anticipated deal between the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other leading oil producers would help Russia to maintain stable crude output in the future.
