OPEC+ Compliance With Oil Cuts In March Largely Due To Saudi Arabia – IEA

OPEC+  Compliance With Oil Cuts In March Largely Due To Saud

The alliance of the OPEC+ oil producers was able to achieve the 113 percent oil cuts agreement reached last month largely due to Saudi Arabia’s voluntary additional cut of 1 million barrels a day (mbd), a report said.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) which disclosed this in its monthly Oil Market Report on Wednesday, said “Saudi Arabia maintained its extra reduction in supply for the second month in a row.

“That kept overall OPEC+ compliance with supply cuts at a robust 113 percent during March.

“Russia ramped up, while Iran and Libya, both exempted from the deal, posted notable increases, pushing output from the 24-member producer group to 39.8 mb/d, up 270 kb/d from February,” the agency said in the report.
