RIYADH, March 6, 2026 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) — Kuwait has begun reducing production at several oil fields after storage facilities reached capacity for unsold crude, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.


The report said the country is also discussing further limits to oil production and refining activity, potentially reducing output to levels required only to meet domestic demand.
