OPEC+ ministers approved extending oil production quotas for 2025 throughout 2026, with the UAE's 300,000 bpd quota increase moved to April 2025 through September 2026. The Great Eight voluntary cuts of 1.65 million bpd will run until end-2026, and the 2.2 million bpd voluntary cut will be phased out monthly from April 2025 to September 2026.
Compensation schedules for overproduction were extended to June 2026.
