What is OPEC’s (Saudi Arabia’s, really) Plan B if US oil production growth bounces back bigger than expected?

The Saudis returning to the role of swing supplier, providing production cuts even greater than pledged under an accord with other OPEC nations and Russia, had revived oil markets.

Oil prices are weakening again, and Saudi officials are decrying “free riders.”
