Saudi Arabia, UAE Signal Willingness to Extend Production Cuts

The oil ministers of Saudi Arabia and the UAE indicated that their countries were willing to consider an extension of the production-cut agreement between OPEC and major, non-OPEC oil producers, Reuters reports.

The decision will depend upon market fundamentals, according to a statement released by the Saudi ministry.

The Saudi minister, Khalid El Falih, also met with his Venezuelan and Kazakh counterparts, Bloomberg reports. Both Kazakhstan and Venezuela also expressed a willingness to consider an extension to the agreement.

Under the production-cut agreement, the signatories committed to a joint production cut of 1.8 million barrels per day (b/d).

The Kuwaiti oil minister previously stated that OPEC would reconsider its strategy when it meets in November, Reuters reported last month.
