Ward Smith + 6,615 September 21, 2020 Oligarchies are all fun and games, until they aren't. Same goes for oligopolies. Saudi Arabia, as the oligarch in chief was a driving force in pushing for the cartel known as OPEC. They looked positively brilliant, while prices were going up. However, being the scold is never fun, especially after your ham handed moves tanked the market in the first place. Everyone was happy with $100 oil (sans consumers, but who cares about them?) but the Saudis didn't like the LTO cutting into their market share and began dumping, trashing prices and ruining their own economy. Covid hit and they did it again, to punish the Russians who don't even belong to OPEC. Now they want to play "adult in the room"? 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not confident they can sustain 13 million a day. Only for a temporary period by opening up the valves on all the stripper wells and emptying the tanks at RT. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
