OPEC ready to raise oil output if required after US sanctions on Russia, Kuwaiti minister says

OPEC plans to raise output by 137,000 barrels per day starting November to offset supply disruptions from US sanctions on Russia's top oil firms, causing a 5% price rise.

  • On October 24, OPEC said it stands ready to raise production if shortages emerge after new US sanctions on Lukoil and Rosneft pushed prices up by 5%.
  • The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced sweeping sanctions on Rosneft Oil Company and Lukoil OAO, citing Moscow's `lack of serious commitment to a peace process`.
  • The group plans to raise production by 137,000 barrels per day from November and has increased this year's output targets by more than 2.7 million bpd, about 2.5 per cent of global demand.
  • Kuwait's Oil Minister Tariq Al-Roumi said the sanctions will shift demand toward the Gulf and the Middle East, adding `We are already seeing signs` of this market reaction.
  • Amid a push to regain market share, OPEC+ has reversed course this year, while major Chinese state-owned oil companies have suspended seaborne purchases of Russian crude.
