Saudi Oil Minister al-Naimi says it is “difficult, if not impossible” for OPEC or Saudi to give up market share by cutting crude production, and data confirmed Saudi crude oil exports rose to 6.897mln bpd in October, up from 6.722mln bpd in September. This was then followed by the UAE Oil Minister confirming OPEC will not change output levels and has no intention of holding an emergency OPEC meeting.
