Late 1997 - OPEC produces 3 million barrels/day too much - oil prices slide
July 1998 - OPEC cuts production by 3 million barrels/day - oil prices stabilize
Sept 1998 - OPEC cuts production more - oil prices rise

and OPEC cuts more, and more, and more - if necessary.

The Asian Crisis, Iraqi sanctions, non-OPEC production, Chinese floods, Nigerian sabotage - the list goes on - are factors to be factored in but the price of oil is controlled by the people who control 40% of the world's production. They want oil at $20 - 22/barrel.

Best of luck,

Steve
