OPEC and its allies, the group known as OPEC+, wants to maintain the existing oil output cuts of 9.7 million barrels per day (bpd) beyond June, Reuters reported on Tuesday, citing four OPEC+ sources.
“The ministers want to keep the same oil production cuts now which are about 10 million bpd, after June. They don’t want to reduce the size of the cuts,” a source told Reuters. “This is the basic scenario that’s being discussed now.”
