What happened

Seven OPEC+ countries held a virtual meeting on October 4 and agreed to keep oil production quotas for November 2026 at September levels. The seven countries include Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria and Oman. Kazakhstan's quota remains at 1.628 million barrels per day, Saudi Arabia's at 10.478 million, and Russia's at 9.949 million.

What changed

The decision suspends the monthly production increase of 188,000 barrels per day that had been scheduled since May. In September, Kazakhstan increased oil production by 10,000 barrels per day compared with August. Thus, November quotas remain at September levels, with no new increase.

Why it matters

The decision comes as Gulf countries are producing well below their quotas because of export disruptions caused by the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran. The war has also delayed the review of the group's production capacities needed to determine quotas for 2027.

What to watch

The group's next meeting will be held on November 1.

What's Next
