JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia - Saudi Arabia’s Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said on Saturday that OPEC will be responsive to the oil market’s needs, but that he was not sure there is an oil shortage with data, particularly from the United States, still showing inventories building.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries , Russia and other non-OPEC producers have agreed to reduce output by 1.2 million barrels per day from Jan. 1 for six months, a deal designed to stop inventories building up and weakening prices. OPEC’s agreed share of the cuts is 800,000 bpd, but its actual reduction is far larger due to the production losses in Iran and Venezuela. Both are under U.S. sanctions and exempt from the voluntary reductions under the OPEC-led deal.

Oil contamination also forced Russia to halt flows along the Druzhba pipeline - a key conduit for crude into Eastern Europe and Germany - in April. The suspension, as yet of unclear duration, left refiners scrambling to find supplies.

The system, comprising of world leaders who've vowed to always do the right thing, that is, making certain financial markets for themselves gain maximum prophets, regardless the maximum suffering to others cause. Money in oil, money in weapons as well.

I want world to completely shift to renewable energy sources. So that i can see all these oil rich countries go back to stone ages. They don't have anything other than oil.
