BAKU (Sputnik) – The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-cartel oil producers will hold their next meeting on the evening of Sunday via a video conference, the Azerbaijani Energy Ministry spokeswoman Zamina Aliyeva said.
Earlier this week, G20 energy ministers discussed the possibility of reaching a new deal on oil output cuts. Prior to that, OPEC+ talks were held via video conference and resulted in the adoption of a new declaration which outlined a three-stage reduction of oil production. It was accepted by all states except Mexico.
The OPEC+ deal involves 10 OPEC countries: Algeria, Angola, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Iraq, Kuwait, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Three other OPEC members — Iran, Libya and Venezuela — have been exempted from production cuts due to sanctions. Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Brunei, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Mexico, Oman, Russia, Sudan, and South Sudan are non-OPEC observer states in the deal.
