You said yourself that Russia does export more oil than Saudi currently. To not think that matters and that Russia is a small player is, well, wrong.
Energy/Oil = power & influence.

The UK's position might be currently that they are fine as far as current needs. I think they'll have huge problems in the near future. Aside from that though, I'm not discussing what Russia's influece over UK is. I'm talking about them as a world player. They are important.

Good point Tomcat regarding the Caliphate. Europe is going to be a major flash point.
