Opec ministers face a tough discussion today over the future leader of the organisation.
Abdalla El Badri, a former Libyan oil minister known for his diplomatic skill in shepherding members to consensus, reaches his two-term limit at the end of this year, leaving a choice between three candidates at today's output meeting.
The Saudi Arabian candidate, the oil ministry adviser Majid Al Muneef, is in the running and challenged by a candidate from Iran and Thamer Ghadban, a former Iraqi oil minister seen as a possible compromise between price hawks represented by Tehran and doves led by Riyadh.
