It has always been troubled by production benchmarks and output quota issues. Historically, proposals for allocation based on current production, nominal production capacity, historical production, proven reserves, population size, income requirements, and development needs (per capita) have appeared, but even which one is most applicable or fair has not been reached. consensus in principle. In fact, it is usually Saudi Arabia that decides how much to produce and convinces the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait to accept quotas while member states such as Iran and Iraq, struggling under war, unrest and sanctions, can produce as much crude as they can.
The author Ji Zilin believes that because economic issues and political issues are intertwined, even if the final agreement is reached, it is likely to be very vague. First, for selective exemptions, this may be specified in the final agreement, or member states may be allowed to declare separately. This strategy has also been used. At the same time, the baseline can be very ambiguous, and different members can even be given different reference intervals. In extreme cases, member states may simply give up setting a fixed baseline and simply announce how much production each country will reduce. This is not without precedent.
However, the meeting on September 1 is a ministerial meeting, and the issue of regional power cannot be resolved at the ministerial level. The question is, will competition for influence among Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq hamper a deal amid divergent regional power structures?
The latest news from Saudi Arabian crude oil giant Aramco () shows that the company plans to increase crude oil supply to some Asian customers next month to further defend its market share. There are various indications that Saudi Arabia will not give up market share to others in order to reach an agreement on production reduction at the meeting on October 1. Therefore, Saudi Arabia is not expected to reduce production alone without the cooperation of other oil-producing countries.
