Saudi Arabia calls for 1.5 million bpd hike in OPEC output
Monday, May 10, 2004 12:09:15 PM

RIYADH (AFX) - The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) needs to add not less than one and a half million barrels per day (bpd) to its production ceiling, Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi said earlier

"It is certain that the kingdom believes that increasing OPEC's production ceiling is essential to keep supply and demand balance

"It is apparent that demand, especially that of Asia, has and will continue to increase in the second half of this year

"We in the kingdom estimate the required increase of the ceiling to be no less than one and a half million bpd," Naimi said in a statement released by the oil ministry

His remarks came as prices on world markets soared to 13-year highs with crude hitting 40 dollars a barrel in New York on fears of terrorist strikes in the Middle East and US gasoline shortages

OPEC agreed in March to cut output by one million bpd to reduce total production to 23.5 million from April 1
