Why Major Exporters Maintain Oil Output Amid Dropping Prices
In February, the energy ministers of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Venezuela, and Russia discussed the current oil market situation in Doha and agreed to freeze oil production at January levels if other countries followed suit, in a bid to keep the oil prices from falling any lower.

The deal is expected to be finalized on April 17 at the meeting of OPEC members and non-OPEC oil producers in the Qatari capital of Doha.
