Oil prices fall after Saudi Arabia announcement
Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Ali Al Naimi said that the market determines the price of oil and that without production cuts from non-<a href=’https://theenergyyear.com/companies-institutions/opec/’>OPEC members, the situation would not improve.
“The production of OPEC is 30 percent of the market, 70 percent from non-OPEC…everybody is supposed to participate if we want to improve prices,” Al Naimi is quoted as saying by Reuters.
Saudi Arabia produces about 10 million barrels of oil per day, and currently has no plans to increase production. The country has maintained that its oil policy is not a political move, despite harsh criticism from other major producers such as Iran and the US.
