Russia to hold additional talks before OPEC, non-OPEC meeting - sources

By Katya Golubkova MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia plans to hold additional talks on Friday with some OPEC and non-OPEC nations to discuss unresolved issues related to a planned cut in oil output ahead of a wider meeting the following day in Vienna, two Russian sources told Reuters. Russia has committed to reducing its output by 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) in the first half of 2017 in an effort to boost oil prices. Other non-OPEC countries are being urged to cut by a similar amount in total.
