Oil prices rose on Monday after falling sharply in the previous session, boosted by expectations that the joint meeting of OPEC countries and others from outside could address the rise in production of Nigeria and Libya, members of OPEC, and so far exempted from cutting production.
Ministers from OPEC and non-OPEC oil producers meet in the Russian city of St Petersburg to discuss a cut production agreement of 1.8 million bpd by the end of March 2018.

OPEC has agreed with a number of producers led by Russia to reduce oil production by 1.8 million barrels per day from January 2017 until the end of March next year. But Libya and Nigeria were exempt from the deal to help them recover after years of unrest.
The cutback led crude prices to above $ 58 a barrel in January, but prices have since fallen back to $ 45- $ 50 a barrel, as stockpile reduction efforts took longer than expected.
The increase in US shale oil production has eroded the impact of supply cuts, as is the case for Libya and Nigeria's growing oil production.
"We have to acknowledge that the market has turned to the downside amid several key factors driving this sentiment," Saudi Energy Minister Khalid Al-Falih said at a meeting of OPEC's watchdog committee with independent producers.
Besides Saudi Arabia, the committee includes Russia, Kuwait, Venezuela, Algeria and Oman and has the power to make recommendations for other producers involved in the deal according to market conditions. The committee is expected to announce its position later on Monday.
"The low level of commitment on the part of some Opec members and the increase in the Organization's exports are helping to lower prices," Al-Falih said.
