According to the Ministry of Energy in a statement cited by the official news agency SPA, this cut will reduce the production of the world’s largest oil exporter to 7.5 million barrels per day.

According to Kuwait’s Khaled al-Fadhel, Minister of Oil, in order to support the Saudi initiative, the country is expected to cut its production by 80,000 barrels per day.

In support of Saudi Arabia’s efforts to balance the oil market, another Riyadh ally, the United Arab Emirates, announced a reduction of 100,000 barrels per day in its production starting in June.

In the agreement concluded in April, Saudi Arabia had already reduced its production to 8.5 million barrels, reaching the lowest level in over a decade.

Despite these massive reductions, prices have yet to recover, in the absence of a real recovery in demand, paralyzed by the crisis related to the new coronavirus.

“The kingdom seeks through this new reduction to encourage OPEC countries and oil-producing countries outside of OPEC to honor their promises to cut their production and make additional reductions to support the stability of the global oil market”, said the Saudi Ministry.

Currently, the price of oil is around 30 dollars.
