The Riyadh-Vienna decisions and the world oil market

Article Abstract:

The world oil market is predicted to have an excess supply in 1998 that can result in low oil prices. The market was previously marked in 1997 with high oil prices and overproduction resulting in low demand for oil products. The Riyadh Pact in March 22, 1998 between Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico reduced oil production by 600,000 barrels a day. Other OPEC and non-OPEC nations have already pledged to reduce their oil production after the OPEC summit in Vienna on March 30, 1998.
