Saudi Arabia will not have any additional capacity to increase oil production beyond 13 million barrels per day, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said during his address to the US-Arab summit in Jeddah. 

“The kingdom has announced an increase in its production capacity level to 13 million barrels per day, after which the kingdom will not have any additional capacity to increase production,” he said. 

The kingdom previously said it was aiming at production capacity of 13 million bpd by 2027.

WNU Editor: Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was very careful on what he was promising. MBS was talking about "Production Capacity" NOT "production" when he mentioned that they will be increasing production capacity to 13 mb/d (from 12 mb/d) by 2027. In other-words. Do not expect any significant Saudi oil production in the near future.
