Energy experts to discuss effects of OPEC+ production cuts on gas prices

Gas crisis example

HOUSTON – (April 13, 2023) – A panel of energy industry experts will discuss OPEC+ moving to cut production and other factors that will determine the global oil market’s future in an April 18 event at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy.

Earlier this month, Saudi Arabia, Russia and other OPEC+ members surprised the market by announcing a large production cut of nearly 1.7 million barrels per day. How will this cut impact the global oil market, investment, economic growth and public policy — and what will it mean for prices at the pump?
