OPEC and non-OPEC states might need to meet again to reconsider production cuts, Nigeria's oil minister said on Monday, expressing frustration with the collapse in oil prices after Saudi Arabia and Russia embarked on a battle for market share.
Minister of State for Petroleum Timipre Sylva told reporters that the sharp drop in Brent crude, which fell as much as 30% on Monday before rebounding, could force a change in tactics.
Saudi Arabia and Russia have pledged to ramp up production despite substantially weakened global demand, having failed to come to an agreement last week on supply cuts.
