What's going to happen is there will be a price war between the Arabs and the rest of OPEC. The Arabs will try to maintain profits and then realize nobody else will and they will find the bottom at that time.


UAE is no longer part of OPEC. OPEC limited it to around1.1.5 million BPD but I can due 4 million standing on its head. That's where most of the drilling has been the last decade. A client leased a warehouse there for that reason.

Always remember SA is in the catbird seat when it comes to ME oil.

Now, several ME nations need the immediate cash flow from increased production, which ultimately drives the cost down. A couple have left OPEC already, with a couple more seeing it as a strategy also . Hence, the return of a low barrel price.

SA is doing okay and does not need the increased production. So either the group stays together by lowering prices considerably or it dismantles because a few just want to increase profits by less production. Of course, SA could let them all feel the bottom by opening its spigots.

The ME is awash in oil right now and to save these reservoirs of oil, it must be produced. Now you understand who really had the leverage.

It was not Iran!!
