The group will release an extra 411,000 b/d in May instead of the planned 135,000 b/d. It hopes a new, front-loaded schedule for 鈥渃ompensation cuts鈥� will mitigate the impact. Our soundings indicate that of eight members due to release extra volumes in May, only two would do so once compensation cuts are factored in.
