Eight OPEC+ member countries—Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, the UAE, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria, and Oman—have agreed to raise oil output by 137,000 barrels per day (bbl/d) in  November 2025. The Group increased output targets by more than 2.7 million barrels per day (mmbbl/d) this year.

In a virtual meeting held on October 5, the group cited a steady global economic outlook and healthy inventory levels as reasons for the adjustment. The November decision maintains the same modest monthly increase of 137,000 bbl/d that was implemented in October.

In 2023, amid economic uncertainties and price volatility, the eight key members introduced additional voluntary cuts totalling 1.65 mmbbl/d in April and 2.2 mmbbl/d in November to support market stability. The current strategy continues this gradual adjustment approach based on evolving market conditions.

The adjustment provides an opportunity for member countries to accelerate compensation efforts for past overproduction. All eight countries confirmed their intention to fully compensate for any excess output since January 2024, with Iraq and Kazakhstan identified as the primary overproducers.

OPEC+ is an alliance formed in 2016 between the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and 10 major non-OPEC oil-producing nations, including Russia.
