This R&D provides resources on the state of the global oil market.  The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) recently reached a deal with other producers such as Russia to freeze levels of oil production in an attempt to stabilize oil prices.  The agreed upon freeze will see producers cut back to January levels, but observers are still skeptical that the deal will hold.  Global oil prices fell below $30 per barrel at the end of last week and Iran is deemed as a wild card.  The Islamic Republic says that it can abide by the freeze, but it also wants to increase production after being freed from Western sanctions.
