Venezuela's OPEC Proposal Focuses on Oil Price, Not Volumes

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said he and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to "several initiatives" to balance the market while meeting in China on Sept. 3, according to Venezuela’s state-news agency AVN. Maduro and Putin ”didn’t discuss any concrete steps” on oil prices, Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

“It is necessary to admit that OPEC is not the only actor in producing oil,” Del Pino said. “There are other actors outside of OPEC that must be taken into consideration.”

Compete for market share with US shale produces? The US shale industry does not export so is the Saudi position limited to competing in the USA? I think not. Just a weak answer to a weak question. The real truth is the Saudis just dont know what they are doing or understand the complexities of the ongoing oil industry/markets/politics. Life is so easy for them they cannot muster the intellectual wherewithal to have policies that make sense. Their main concern is in maintaining their status quo against the forces lined up against them.
