Angola Left OPEC to Sustain Above 1m b/d Output

OIL

Angola quit OPEC as its quota limits hurt the country’s plans to stabilise crude output above 1m b/d, according to a top official cited by Bloomberg.

  • “This organization no longer aligns with Angola’s values and interests,” Mineral Resources Minister Diamantino Azevedo said in a speech in Luanda on Jan. 02.
  • Angola saw its output fall by 40k b/d to 1.1m b/d in December, according to a Bloomberg survey. Its output briefly dropped below 1m b/d in 2023.
  • Its national petroleum industry has since launched an investor roadshow and offered a series of licensing rounds to auction blocs, hoping to gather investments to raise production. Production has been hampered by many years of underinvestment.
