Alexander Ryazanov Quotations

We are capable of increasing production to some 50 million metric tons of oil annually in the next few years.

If you're asking if we should reinvest all our profits, I'm all for it. But I don't think our shareholders would understand.

Considering that the purchasing power in these countries was low, we were artificially holding prices in check. Now we are raising them, although it should have been done earlier.

We will be ready to pay to shareholders no less than $1 billion -- and probably $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion -- in dividends if we don't buy new deposits.
