Following a meeting on Friday and Saturday in Vienna, OPEC and non-OPEC producers decided to increase oil production levels by around 1 million barrels per day as of July 1.

According to OPEC’s statement on Saturday, the countries will strive to adhere to the overall conformity level of 100% for the remaining duration of the Declaration of Cooperation DOC, and for the Joint OPEC and Non-OPEC Ministerial Monitoring Committee to monitor the conformity level and report back to the OPEC and non-OPEC Ministerial Meeting.

"The member countries have exceeded the required level of conformity that had reached 152 percent in May 2018," OPEC stated.

OPEC and non-OPEC oil producers had agreed in late 2016 to cut their output in order to trim a supply glut in the global market. They began implementing the agreement in January 2017 and later extended it until the end of this year.
