Seven OPEC+ Members Keep December Quotas Unchanged

Kalbir Talwar
Published Nov 1, 2026
Share:
Summary:
  • A seven-country OPEC+ subgroup held December production targets steady after rolling off the last voluntary cuts in September.
  • They meet monthly and are next on the calendar for Nov. 29, the same day the full OPEC+ coalition gathers.
  • Kazakhstan and Oman's "compensation cuts" were last updated on April 7, and the make-up window now runs through year-end.

What the subgroup did

Seven OPEC+ producers met Sunday and left their headline December quotas in place, having already phased out the remaining voluntary curbs in September. They will continue monthly check-ins on market conditions, with the next session set for Nov. 29 alongside the broader OPEC+ meeting.

The numbers in short

The latest published schedule lists targets in thousands of barrels per day and shows September output, which is the most recent month with OPEC estimates from secondary sources.

  • Algeria: 1Q26 971, April 977, May 983, June 989, July 995, Aug. 1,001, Sept.-Dec. 1,007, Actual Sept. 1,003.
  • Iraq: 1Q26 4,273, April 4,299, May 4,326, June 4,352, July 4,378, Aug. 4,405, Sept.-Dec. 4,431, Actual Sept. 3,920.
  • Kuwait: 1Q26 2,580, April 2,596, May 2,612, June 2,628, July 2,644, Aug. 2,660, Sept.-Dec. 2,676, Actual Sept. 1,766.
  • Saudi Arabia: 1Q26 10,103, April 10,166, May 10,228, June 10,291, July 10,353, Aug. 10,416, Sept.-Dec. 10,478, Actual Sept. 8,001.
  • Kazakhstan: 1Q26 1,569, April 1,579, May 1,589, June 1,599, July 1,608, Aug. 1,618, Sept.-Dec. 1,628, Actual Sept. 1,851.
  • Oman: 1Q26 811, April 816, May 821, June 826, July 831, Aug. 836, Sept.-Dec. 841, Actual Sept. 939.
  • Russia: 1Q26 9,574, April 9,637, May 9,699, June 9,762, July 9,824, Aug. 9,887, Sept.-Dec. 9,949, Actual Sept. 8,643.

The schedule does not factor in extra reductions to offset earlier overproduction by Kazakhstan and Oman.

When market supply signals shift, thoughtful investors look for better information. We're hosting our first ever investor livestream on 11/17 to show you how to use ChatGPT and Claude to invest like a pro, hosted by Briefs Finance CEO Jaspreet Singh. Save your seat.

Compensation cuts and flows

Kazakhstan and Oman are applying separate make-up cuts last revised on April 7. Those changes lowered Kazakhstan's effective limit to 710,000 barrels a day in May and 720,000 in June, while Oman's adjustment set May at 812,000 barrels a day and June at 806,000. The make-up period was extended through the end of the year, and there are no published compensation levels beyond June.

At the same time, more crude is moving via the Strait of Hormuz, and exports sent along a Saudi Red Sea corridor rose in October. Even with those lanes, OPEC+ producers around the Persian Gulf still face practical limits on how fully they can tap higher targets.

Why it matters for your portfolio

Put the steady December quotas together with Kazakhstan and Oman's make-up cuts and the monthly meeting cadence, and near-term oil balances still lean on compliance and logistics, not just headline targets. For energy stocks and oil-linked assets, realized exports and those Nov. 29 readouts may matter more than the printed quota path.

Finding an informational edge often comes down to using smarter tools and judgment. On 11/17, our CEO Jaspreet Singh goes live for our first ever investor livestream on how to use ChatGPT and Claude to invest like a pro. Register to join him.

Are We in a Recession? 5 Threats to the Economy and Where the Money Is Moving
By Andre Savage

  • The opportunities he's watching mostly sit outside the dollar: rising economies like Brazil and Indonesia, US-backed emerging market bonds paying 7% to 9%, and the shifts that fear creates.

Common Investing Mistakes: Why a Stock Grade Is One Tool, Not the Whole Toolkit
By Jackson Moreland
  • The Briefs Score shows growth, income, and wealth preservation investors how well a stock fits their goal, with a separate letter grade for each one.
  • The most common mistake is treating the letter as an instruction. An A tells you a stock scores well for one goal, not that you should buy today.
  • Research works best as one input in a process you own. The grade shows how a stock stacks up. You supply the goal, the timeline, and the rules for being wrong.

Is This Stock a Good Buy? How to Use the Briefs Score to Tell If a Stock Fits the Way You Invest
By Nate Gregory
  • The Briefs Score shows growth, income, and wealth preservation investors how well a stock fits their goal, with a separate letter grade for each one.
  • One stock can score very differently for each. Nvidia showed an A- for growth and a D- for income, because it grows fast and pays almost no dividend.
  • Seven sub scores under each grade show what earned the letter, so you can see exactly where a stock is strong or weak for your goal.

How to Tell an Asset From a Liability: The One Question to Ask Before You Buy Anything
By Briefs Finance
  • The typical American household earned more in 2025 than in any year on record, yet only 30% of Americans say they could pay a surprise $1,000 bill from savings, so the problem isn't income but what the income gets spent on.
  • An asset puts money in your pocket and a liability takes money out, and the wealthy buy assets first, then let the assets pay for the fun stuff.
  • Before you buy anything, ask one question: does this put money in my pocket, or take money out of my pocket? Then you need a plan for the money you keep.

How to Build Your First $2,000 Emergency Fund and Wipe Out Every Debt Over 10%
By Briefs Finance
  • Your first money goal isn't investing, it's $2,000 in its own account named Do Not Touch, built by moving 10% of every paycheck into it automatically.
  • More than a third of American adults couldn't cover a $400 surprise bill with cash or savings, according to the Federal Reserve, and that's how one bad day turns into years of credit card payments.
  • Once the $2,000 is there, attack every debt charging more than 10% interest, highest rate first, because you can't out-invest a 22% credit card so paying it off is the investment.
