Oil producers are not worried about growth of oil production in the United States as a result of rising oil prices, as growing demand, said the Minister of oil of Kuwait Essam al-marzouk.
The Minister noted that the level of production of shale oil in the US will depend on its value.
Thus, the portion of deposits is cost-effective at the current price level, and some are not.
