An energy ministry spokesman said state-owned Aramco will maintain "steady supplies to the United States and Europe while exports to Asia will be reduced by more than 100,000 barrels per day" from December's production levels.
"This is in line with our continued demonstration of keeping to, and in fact, exceeding, our commitments under the declaration of cooperation," he said in reference to the deal by producers to cut production by 1.8 million bpd.
The agreement was last month extended until the end of 2018 in a bid to remove a supply glut from the market that has sent oil prices crashing.
"We hope that by leading by example, our partners from OPEC and non-OPEC will do the same in order to keep conformity levels above 100 percent and accelerate the rebalancing of the market," the spokesman said.
The deal has helped oil prices to rebound from below USD 30 a barrel at the start of last year to more than USD 60 a barrel currently.
