OPEC Agrees To Cut Production; Oil Prices Surge by watchindelta(m): 6:29am On Sep 29, 2016 |
It would be the first time in eight years that the oil cartel would lower output. The agreement was reached on Wednesday at a meeting in Algiers. Oil prices surged more than 5% in reaction. A global glut of oil supply caused oil prices to crash over the last two years. And OPEC nations, led by Saudi Arabia, have refused to lower production until now. Under the agreement, OPEC oil production is expected to be reduced to a range of 32.5 to 33 million barrels of oil per day from 33.4 million. Saudi Arabia, the largest oil producer, is expected to give up 350,000 barrels a day, according to a senior OPEC source quoting the final proposal. Other OPEC nations are expected to lower production too, though more details were not immediately clear. Three countries are exempted from the production cuts: Iran, Nigeria and Libya. Economic sanctions were lifted on Iran earlier this year, and Libya and Nigeria have had some of their oil facilities damaged by terrorist attacks in recent months. Oil prices were as high as $100 a barrel in mid-2014. But the global oversupply caused prices to plunge to as low as $26 a barrel in February. The volatility in oil caused stock markets to dive at the beginning of 2016. In recent months, oil prices have rebounded a bit and oil is currently hovering near $47 a barrel. http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/28/investing/oil-surges-after-opec-informal-meeting/index.html |

One of the major set back to OPEC is their inability to bring all the oil producing countries under this platform. This reduced the powers they were meant to wield in crude price control. Another set back to OPEC are cases were member countries like Saudi Arabia act in deviance to measures suggested to control output and prices. It's a good thing that they have a common ground at these critical times. Lets hope other none members doesn't sabotage this move. Lets hope it turns out positive for Nigeria. Let's hope it helps us survive our crisis Nigeria will be great again 10 Likes 4 Shares |

That's the way to go. That will definitely push the crude price up. Atleast it will help Nigeria make some more income to fund our budget and spend our way out of the recession. My worries is now is, will they still cut our own supply too? Cos we've not in recent times been able to meet our supply quota due to myriads of factors. We can only pray government look into the Niger Delta issues and see how it could be resolved so we can reap maximum benefit from this move by OPEC. 1 Like |

I thought they said it's because the oil prices fell is the reason our economy is bad? Now oil prices have improved, the efcc claimed to have recovered 20 trillion from pdp and saved 6 trillion from TSA...why is our economy still bad? 23 Likes 1 Share |

Buhari should leave ND oil alone and focus on exploring other options. The 5%ters need some break. If my people who are called by a name shall shut their ears to the mention of oil and restructure Nigeria and till their land, then will I know that they are due for a change and take them serious.

Re: OPEC Agrees To Cut Production; Oil Prices Surge by FabioPeter: 6:44am On Sep 29, 2016 |
For the records our production quota is 2million barrels per day. We are currently producing 1.2mil bopd due to vandalism of our facilities. We would benefit marginally if the price goes up as expected but the real deal for us is ensuring peace in the Niger Delta so we can grow our production. If we meet our quota which by the way our budget is benchmarked against, we could strive to do more and feed our refineries so we rely less on fuel import which stifles our foreign reserve. It's time to wake up from our slumber. 4 Likes |
