The agreement by OPEC and other oil producers to reduce output will be observed about 80%, said Anduran.
He is confident that by mid-2017, the oil market will return to backwardation in which the producers of shale oil (primarily North American) no incentive to hedge supplies. The liquidation of the hedging positions will support prices, he added Anduran.
