Russia Completes Its OPEC Takeover With Japan Deal: Oil Strategy - Bloomberg:
The trouble with bringing new people into your club, especially if they are bigger than you, is that they might just take over. OPEC is learning that lesson.
Three years ago, suffering a collapse in oil prices, OPEC sought outside help to cut oil supplies in order to drain excess inventories that had built up over the previous two years. It eventually succeeded in securing the help of a group of non-OPEC countries.
Most of them added little to this new OPEC+ club. The output cuts they offered were, in many cases, going to happen anyway, as a result of natural declines through a lack of investment or dwindling reserves.

#Iran's OPEC Veteran Weathers Storms From Trump to Saudi Arabia - Bloomberg
Iran's OPEC Veteran Weathers Storms From Trump to Saudi Arabia - Bloomberg:
Iran’s Bijan Namdar Zanganeh is OPEC’s longest serving oil minister.
During 14 years spent shuttling between Tehran and the cartel’s Vienna headquarters, he’s proved himself adept at both the closed-door horsetrading, where policy gets decided, and the uniquely chaotic brand of public diplomacy ministers use to talk to the global oil market.
But he arrives for Monday’s meeting, his 48th, under pressure on several fronts.

Rebuked by many, #Saudi crown prince feted at G20 summit
Rebuked by many, Saudi crown prince feted at G20 summit:
For many he’s an international pariah, but you wouldn’t know it by the lavish reception Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has received at the G-20 summit this week.
He beamed as he stood front and center, sandwiched between President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, for a group photo. He exchanged an impish grin as he sat down next to Russian President Vladimir Putin. He posed with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and a group of flag-waving kids ahead of an earlier signing ceremony for $8 billion in deals.
Even as rebukes pile up elsewhere — a U.N. expert has called for an investigation of his alleged role in the killing of a prominent journalist, and a growing number of Americans are questioning their nation’s support for his kingdom and its role in the war in Yemen — some leaders in Osaka have gone out of their way to make sure the prince feels comfortable.
