U.S. crude production will decline before global oil markets recover, Saudi Aramco chairman Khalid al-Falih said. "We expect the decline from the U.S. to accelerate as we go forward" because many rigs have been demobilized, Falih, who is also his nation's health minister, said Friday at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum in Washington.
