Problem is they are one of the few big producers with a vibrant economy outside oil and a huge budget surplus.

I don't really see that as a problem. If anything that should reinforce a decision to cut production.

FWIW - One analyst is predicting oil to rise above $17.

"Mexico provided the opportunity for Saudi Arabia and Venezuela to see eye-to-eye again, and you better believe the producers involved will make sure this deal has teeth," said Antonio Szabo, president of Stone Bond Corp., a Houston consulting firm. He predicts oil futures will rise and find stability above $17 a barrel - still below the $19 to $21 a barrel range seen for much of last year.
