The Covid-19 pandemic has led to substantial global travel restrictions therefore drastically reducing the amount of fuel consumed worldwide.
On April 13, OPEC+ members which includes some of the world’s top oil producers, secured a historic deal when they agreed to cut global petroleum output by nearly a 10th, thereby putting an end a devastating price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia that threatened to flood the oil markets with excess oil.
