Saudi Arabia's Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman played down any rivalry between U.S. shale producers and more established oil producers in the Middle East.
Due the boom in U.S. shale production, alongside other factors, the OPEC energy alliance was prompted to act after global oil prices tumbled in mid-2014. U.S. shale producers were not part of that deal and shale oil supply grew exponentially as OPEC producers curbed output.
"They did a remarkable job," Abdulaziz told CNBC regarding the U.S. energy industry. He spoke of "legal limitations" when asked whether there could be pact with shale producers in the future, but said that Saudi Aramco — his country's state-owned oil firm — "would go more and more international."Aramco signed an agreement to buy U.S.
The new deal, which is much larger than many analysts had expected, will see OPEC+ reduce total oil output by 1.7 million b/d. However, Abdulaziz told reporters on Friday that his country — the de facto leader of OPEC — would also extend a voluntary cut of 400,000 b/d, saying that the energy alliance's total cuts would effectively amount to 2.1 million b/d.
