I mean why not, Russia and Saudi Arabia literally have no environmental standards for Oil, and don't really give a crap about Carbon emissions, so this move will just increase that.



Plus pumping a ton of money into hostile states.
I'm skeptical either country can meaningfully add to their production long term for technical reasons. The Saudis has been planning 12.5Mbdp for over a decade and never got there. American oil hasn't exactly been held to rigorous environmental standards, when the TRRC allows 750mm cu/ft of natural gas to be flared everyday.

SA has the second lowest upstream GHG emissions per bbl in the world, Russia is mid pack. That is a function of their reservoirs and the type of crude they produce.
