Global oil demand should recover to pre-pandemic levels as soon as the fourth quarter, the Saudi Energy minister said, while urging compliance with a global deal to cut output.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies such as Russia, a grouping dubbed Opec+, began a meeting on Wednesday to review the compliance levels with the deal, aimed at supporting prices. "Based on the average projections of various institutions, ... it is estimated that the world will reach about 97 per cent of pre-pandemic oil demand during the fourth quarter - which is a big recovery from the huge falls in April and May," said Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman.
A draft Opec+ statement, seen by Reuters, said a second prolonged wave of the pandemic was a major risk for the oil market recovery. Opec+ sources have said the group was unlikely to change on Wednesday its output policy, which currently calls for reducing output by 7.7 million barrels per day versus a record high 9.7 million bpd up until this month.For daily updates on weekdays and specially selected content for the weekend.
