OPEC president warns of possible oil capacity crisis

OPEC president warns of possible oil capacity crisis


VIENNA, Sept 11 (Reuters) - OPEC President and Venezuelan
Oil Minister Ali Rodriguez said a possible world oil production
crisis was approaching as producers in the cartel were nearing
their capacity limits.
"We are approaching a crisis of great proportions because
oil production capacity is reaching its limit," he told a news
briefing after an OPEC conference.
Saudi Arabia was one of the few countries remaining with
spare capacity and Rodriguez said that the world's number one
oil exporter could act as "a tuning producer."
He said there were many factors behind the current oil price
spike that escaped OPEC's control such as refinery bottlenecks,
transport restrictions, high taxes in oil importing countries
and excessive speculation in financial markets.
