The Persian Gulf state producer plans by next year to add 40 more drilling rigs and raise production capacity to 3.15 million barrels a day, a 5 percent increase from today, Hashem Hashem, chief executive officer of state-run Kuwait Oil Co., told reporters at a conference in Kuwait City.

“We were expecting oil prices to recover in the second half, but they recovered faster than what we expected,” Al-Omair said Monday at the same event. “I expect oil prices to keep improving.”

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, which supplies about 40 percent of the world’s oil, decided not to cut output in November, leaving more expensive operators to reduce supply.
