VIENNA, (AFP) – The spike in oil prices in recent months is stoking heated arguments between market players, who blame each other for the lack of production capacities that has been exposed by strong global demand.
At a seminar last week organized by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in Vienna, the oil world’s principal actors — producer and consuming countries, oil companies and analysts — discussed the contentious issue at length.
comment: note how the suggestion to force certain countries (i.e. Iran, Saudi Arabia, others) is being subtly introduced…Can forced “investment” by the Western powers and the oil majors be far behind?
