OPEC Agrees to Maintain December Oil Output Targets, Focuses on 2027 Quotas
OPEC and allied producers, including Russia, have agreed in principle to maintain their December oil output targets unchanged, signaling a pause in production adjustments until 2027 quota negotiations. Despite Gulf producers increasing exports disrupted by the Iran war, most remain below their assigned targets. The group completed a phased rollback of a 1.65 million bpd cut in September but continues to enforce another 2 million bpd cut through 2026. A review of members' production capacities is expected this quarter to inform 2027 baselines.
