OPEC and non-OPEC producers’ Joint Technical Committee (JTC) didn’t make any recommendations for a further extension of the current oil output cuts, Reuters reported on Wednesday, citing OPEC+ sources.
“Iraq is expected to present its plan for oil production cuts and compensation for overproduction to OPEC+ Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC) meeting on Thursday,” sources further told Reuters. Kazakhstan is also expected to present its plan for oil production reductions at the same meeting.
