An OPEC+ panel on Monday stressed the need for full compliance with oil production agreements, ahead of Sunday's separate gathering of eight OPEC+ members to decide on increasing oil output for September.
Ministers from the Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee, which includes top energy ministers from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies led by Russia, convened online for brief talks.
Sources told Reuters that today's meeting was postponed by an hour from its previously scheduled time. The committee includes ministers from both OPEC and non-OPEC countries, led by Russia.
OPEC, in a post on X late on Friday, said the committee does not hold decision-making authority over production levels, and "its role is limited to monitoring conformity with production adjustments and reviewing overall market conditions".
