Nasser stated that the problem is still in its early stages when discussing the effects of U.S. sanctions on Russian vessels. It remains to be seen if the penalties will result in tighter oil market conditions. Meanwhile, he said he was confident about the state of the world oil market. Despite expected market swings brought on by the new U.S. administration's policy changes, he remained upbeat.
Saudi Arabia will adhere to the OPEC agreement to restrict pumping in order to maintain market equilibrium. The country has been pumping at about three quarters of its output capacity.
Nasser stated that Aramco hopes to strengthen its position in the global LNG market by collaborating with MidOcean.
