Novak added that the oil producers will have the final say not the Russian government.
"We are assessing these risks that we may automatically reduce production as a result of low prices and failure to implement investment projects of the companies. We continue assessing these risks now," Novak told the Forum of Gas Exporting Countries in Qatar quotes Bloomberg.

He said exports from Russia could also fall due to increased domestic demand.
"Russia does not increase the supply of oil in the world market ... We plan to maintain the volume of production at the 2014 level. At the same time exports decreased due to growing domestic consumption," said Novak.
The minister believes individual countries can no longer affect the global oil market.
"In my opinion, such measures, when individual countries agree among themselves, are becoming a thing of the past, as today’s market is completely different. The market is largely influenced by the countries that have large volumes of output and at the same time are importers of oil themselves," said the minister, specifying that the US is among these countries.
Earlier, Novak said Russia plans to keep oil production in 2015 at around 525 million tons. He predicted world oil prices could recover up to US$85-$90 a barrel after its continuous slide.
