According to the source cited in the SPA story, the choice would be reevaluated every month to take into account “deepening the cut or increasing production.”
The source also mentioned that this reduction is in addition to the voluntary reduction that the Kingdom had previously announced in April 2023 and that lasts through the end of December 2024.
According to the article, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its partners, known as OPEC+, have been taking precautions to protect the stability of the oil markets, and this new voluntary cut aims to support those efforts.
