OIL: Saudi Arabia Output Return as Planned in Dec to Regain Market Share: FT

OIL
BulletEnergy BulletsCommodities

Saudi Arabia is ready to abandon its unofficial oil price target of $100/bbl and is committed to returning production as planned in December to regain market share, according to the Financial Times.

  • Saudi Arabia is unwilling to continue to cede market share to other producers even if that results in a longer period of low oil prices. The kingdom has enough funding options, including foreign reserves and debt to cope with lower prices, according to the FT.
  • The OPEC+ group, including Saudi Arabia, had planned to return some voluntary supplies to the market from October but earlier this month the output increase was delayed until December amid market concerns for oversupply. The group has been cutting oil output to support prices but not all members have fully complied with pledged output quotas.
  • The Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee that can recommend changes meets on Oct. 2 while the next full OPEC+ ministers meeting is on Dec. 1 but any changes to voluntary cuts can be implemented at any time.
