In October last year, the oil cartel announced its decision to cut output by two million barrels per day.
OPEC and its allies will meet on Sunday to debate a new deal possibly adjusting countries' output quotas and a further cut in production, sources told Reuters, as the group faces flagging oil prices and a looming supply glut.
Four sources familiar with OPEC+ discussions have told Reuters that additional production cuts were being discussed among options for Sunday's session.
Three out of four sources said cuts could amount to 1 million bpd on top of existing cuts of 2 million bpd and voluntary cuts of 1.6 million bpd, announced in a surprise move in April and which took effect in May.
If approved, the new cut would take the total volume of reductions to 4.66 million bpd, or around 4.5% of global demand.
