Regal Group International: OPEC oil output likely to remain the same after upcoming Vienna meeting.

Oct. 11, 2010 - PRLog -- Regal Group International sources report that oil production levels by members of OPEC are likely to remain unchanged after the organizations upcoming meeting in Vienna, Austria.

According to the oil minister for the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed al-Hamil, the global oil market is currently “a little oversupplied”. The minister of the third-biggest producer in the 12 nation Organization of Oil Producing Countries said that OPEC members were all exceeding their allotted quotas after the 78% price surge in 2009 and a further 4% increase seen this year.

“I don’t think there will be any shift” in quotas the oil minister for Qatar, Abdullah al-Attiyah told sources known to Regal Group International via telephone after a recent meeting in Kuwait with ministers from Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf nations. “Producers and consumers are happy” with current oil prices, the minister added.
