Excessive international oil prices are not good for Saudi Arabia: Excessive oil prices have led to the development of a large number of shale oil wells, and excessive supply of shale oil will reduce Saudi Arabia's market share. In this situation, Saudi Arabia will lose control of oil prices. As a result, Saudi Arabia's increase in oil production has caused oil prices to fall.
