OPEC Looks at Boosting Products Output

OPEC members could reschedule refinery maintenance or release products from commercial stocks to help ease supply problems caused by Hurricane Katrina, Acting Secretary-General Adnan Shihab-Eldin said on Saturday.

“Some OPEC countries that have export refineries, like Kuwait … and others, are looking if they can help … maybe by operating their refineries at full capacity, rescheduling their maintenance program. If they have some products stored in commercial inventories that may be made available,” he told Reuters on the sidelines of a business conference in Italy.
