Oil prices reached $80 a barrel on May 17, driven by concerns over falling supplies due to renewed US sanctions on Iran.
Oil prices rose more than 2% on May 9, after President Donald Trump announced the US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal and a reimposition of the "highest level" of sanctions on Tehran.
An extension to the oil production cuts will not be necessary if crude prices continue to rise, Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh has said.
