BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 30. Several OPEC+ nations have declared additional voluntary reductions totaling 2.2 million barrels per day, Trend reports.
According to OPEC, these cuts, derived from the 2024 required production level set during the 35th OPEC Ministerial Meeting on June 4, 2023, supplement previous voluntary reductions extended until the close of 2024, initially declared in April 2023.
