Fuel Fix » Global oil boom forcing Saudi Arabia to cut oil production

"Saudi Arabia has cut crude oil production this year and will have to cut it further if it wants to prevent a significant drop in the global oil price, according to the latest Global Crude Oil Outlook from Energy Security Analysis Inc.

The Massachusetts-based consulting firm said Saudi Arabia, perhaps with help from Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, will need to drop production by a million barrels a day from 2012 levels to defend $100 Brent crude, the global benchmark oil price.

The prediction is in line with a report from the International Energy Agency, which said last week that most of the world’s new oil production over the next five years would come from outside OPEC."
