(Energy Analytics Institute, Jared Yamin, 20.Mar.2015) â Venezuela plans to continue defending a strategy within OPEC that favors higher oil prices versus a strategy based on volumetric production, reported Venezuelan state new agency AVN, citing Venezuela’s Oil Minister AsdrĂșbal ChĂĄvez.
There are around 2 million barrels of excess oil on the market, said the minister, which puts downward pressure on prices.
âIt is necessary to work with all the countries to arrive at a agreement to stabilize oil prices,â said ChĂĄvez.
