RE:Debt freeSaudis are not as influential as they used to be; cuts would have to be orchestrated in cooperation with russians. However, both can’t afford to live without petro dollars. Russians are strained by criminal war in Ukraine & Saudis extended and committed themselves to many mega projects. Regardless of all the world turbulence; world still desperately needs oil (just follow COP2023 minutes).
No oil price crash on the horizon, if anything the price will be trending up.
And yes, debt free outfits like VLE will flourish based even on present oil price; higher price is just gravy.
