"Unfortunately, [due to] the events in Saudi Arabia ... we felt that at that moment we may not be required to comply because of the shortages on the occasion of the Saudi attack, but definitely we will put everything back in motion, for compliance, I mean October, we are definitely going to cut back and comply," Silva said at the Russian Energy Week forum.
