The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries on Wednesday warned of a tighter oil market this winter as crude production in the leading industrial countries, responsible for a quarter of global production, was expected to experience its largest ever decline.
The lower non-Opec production would force the oil cartel to pump more than previously expected to balance the market. That would erode its spare capacity, which could support high prices, analysts said.
