OPEC Agrees to Maintain December Oil Production Targets Amid Export Disruptions
OPEC and allied producers, including Saudi Arabia and Russia, have agreed in principle to keep their December oil production targets unchanged, pausing output adjustments until next year. This decision follows the phased rollback of a 1.65 million barrels-per-day cut completed in September. Despite disruptions from the ongoing US-Iran war affecting Gulf exports, producers are increasing shipments but remain below targets. OPEC continues to maintain additional production cuts of about 2 million barrels per day through 2026, focusing now on setting 2027 quotas.
