Saudi Arabia will cut crude shipments by 560,000 barrels per day (b/d) in November, Bloomberg reports.
The country will export 7.15 million b/d in November despite global demand in excess of 7.7 million b/d, according to a statement released by the Ministry of Energy, Bloomberg reports.
The announcement demonstrates the oil-producer’s “push to draw down commercial stockpiles as soon as possible,” a spokesman for the Ministry of Energy told the Financial Times.
Saudi Arabia previously announced plans to cut shipments by 520,000 b/d in September, and reports have indicated that it is reducing its exports by 350,000 b/d in October.
In September, Saudi Arabia exported only 6.7 million b/d due to high domestic demand, the Financial Times reports.
Saudi Arabia is a signatory to a production-cut agreement between OPEC and some non-OPEC oil producers to cut crude production by 1.8 million b/d. The agreement was implemented in January and has been extended until March 2018.
In November 2016, Saudi Arabia exported more than 8.
