Amin Nasser, CEO andPresident ofSaudi Aramco
OPEC+’s decision to gradually increase production will have a positive impact on companies, Reuters reported, citing Amin Nasser, President and CEO of Saudi Aramco. 
The company is well-positioned in terms of downstream operations, despite some unfavorable market conditions, said Nasser, adding that the market hit record levels.
Saudi Aramco has ongoing projects related to liquefied natural gas (LNG) investments, which will be announced at the appropriate time. Additionally, initial operations of the Jafurah gas field will likely begin later this year, he indicated.
Nasser further pointed out that the changes in dividend distributions align with the previously announced performance-linked dividend mechanism.
OPEC+ plans to move forward with its strategy to increase oil supply and gradually phase out voluntary production cuts. This gradual return to production levels includes lifting voluntary restrictions of 2.2 million barrels per day (bpd), starting from April 2025, with a focus on “ensuring adaptability to evolving conditions.”
The plan begins with an increase of 138,000 bpd in April 2025, marking the first in a series of monthly production hikes to restore supply that has been restricted for over two years. The full implementation of the plan is expected to be completed by 2026.
