Saudi Aramco to keep full oil supplies to North Asia in November despite Opec+ cuts
Add BT as a preferred source
SAUDI Aramco has told at least five customers in North Asia they will receive full contract volumes of crude oil in November, several sources with knowledge of the matter said on Monday (Oct 10).
The full supply allocation comes despite a decision by the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies including Russia, known as Opec+, to lower their output target by 2 million barrels per day.
Saudi Energy Minister Abdulaziz bin Salman had said the real supply cut would be about 1 million to 1.1 million bpd. Analysts expect Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait to shoulder much of the production cuts because other Opec+ members are falling behind output targets.
