Demand for Saudi oil may be falling, and that is a matter of personal concern for them.

But demand for oil will still be satisfied with other sources, and a number of them stand to gain in relative standing against the Middle East sources. The Russians seem to be untroubled by the possibility of decreased demand, and they are almost certain to make up the decrease in per-unit payments by making it up on volume. And they will have plenty of buyers.
