RE:RE:RE:RE:Key factorsIt will be interesting to see the strategies that the Saudis employ in order to generate a reduction in worldwide oil production. Remember they picked up most of the slack when countries such as Lybia, Iraq, Iran and Nigeria reduced their supply (for various reasons). I can see them doing some threatening in the short run to attempt to scare some of their members to participate in production decrease but not sure if it will last for too long. Up to the early 2000's they produced just over 8 million boed. Now up to almost 9.9 boed so it would seem they have been the main beneficiaries of geo-political issues for the past decade. It would seem that other OPEC members might look to them to bring production down first. Let's see what happens.
