Oil exports are about 50% of Russian GDP, and a much higher percent of their government operating revenue. If they F with the Saudi’s, Putin loses.

And for the Sauds, oil revenues are about 80% of their government's budget. They have a lot more to lose, but they have the $$ in the bank to hold on much longer than Russia does.
