Norway's oil minister: No ongoing talks with oil companies in Norway about cuts
|There are no ongoing talks with oil companies in Norway about production cuts, Norway's oil minister on Monday but reiterated that they were willing to make unilateral output cuts if other producers also agree to cut.
"We will consider a unilateral cut in output if it contributes to our own resource management and economy," the minister further explained. "Weak oil price is very demanding for the industry."
