A few hours after the collapse of the cartel, the Biden administration tried to call on OPEC to find a compromise solution to increase oil production and act together. According to White House officials, Biden wants Americans to have access to reliable energy, including refueling.
Amid the scandal, Saudi Aramco has sharply raised oil prices for August sales. Its price growth for US customers was much smaller than for Asian customers.
The White House has been closely monitoring the OPEC+ negotiations, and Biden administration officials have also been in contact with the negotiating countries for an increase in production.
In this regard, the Americans can find allies within the cartel.
Ihsan Abdul-Jabbar, Iraq's Oil Minister, hopes that OPEC will find an opportunity to meet again within the next 10 days and come to an agreement. In addition, he believes that all market participants will continue to act according to the previous agreement.
The administration's interest in increasing foreign oil production contrasts sharply with its opposition to domestic production, which began on Biden's first day in office with a moratorium on oil and gas exploration on federal lands.
Christyan Malek, JPMorgan's head of oil and gas research, said that the oil price of about $ 75 per barrel will also be very tempting for shale oil producers in the United States.
