An official source from the Ministry of Energy announced that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will extend the voluntary cut of one million barrels per day, which has gone into implementation in July and was extended to include August and September, for another three months until the end of December 2023, and in effect, the Kingdom’s production for the coming months of October, November, and December will be approximately 9 million barrels per day.
