Operator Proyek Kilang & Bontang Belum Ditunjuk

    Kementerian Koordinator Bidang Perekonomian dan Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) berselisih paham soal proyek kilang minyak di Bontang, Kalimantan Timur. Jika sebelumnya PT Pertamina digadang-gadang bisa mengambil proyek itu, kini BUMN itu masih harus bersabar. Belum ada kata sepakat preyek itu diberikan kepada Pertamina. Komite Percepatan Penyediaan Infrastruktur Prioritas (KPPIP) masih mengkaji serta membandingkan keekonomian skema penugasan kepada Pertamina maupun skema Kerjasama Pemerintah dan Badan Usaha (KPBU). Ketua Harian KPPIP Wahyu Utomo menjelaskan, sementara ini pihaknya masih mengikuti ketentuan dami Kementerian Koordinator Perekonomian.

    Kementerian Koordinator Ekonomi cenderung ingin memakai skema KPBU dalam pembangunan Kilang Bontang. Skema KPBU tersebut sampai ada perubahan kebijakan lagi. Wakil Menteri ESDM Arcandra Tahar menyatakan, pembangunan Kilang Bontang memakai skema KPBU akan memakan waktu yang lama, hingga 48 bulan. Sementara kalau penugasan, dari sisi proses, bisa kita lakukan lima sampai delapan bulan," kata Arcandra, yang juga menjabat, sebagai Wakil Komisaris Pertamina di Kantor Kementerian ESDM.

    Dengan penugasan itu, diharapkan pembangunan Kilang Bontang bisa dipercepat seperti Kilang Tuban. Kalau ada protes (dari KPPIP), kami sudah berdiskusi dengan Menko Perekonomian, sebaiknya Kilang Bontang penugasan. Dalam diskusi itu, Menko Perekonomian Darmin Nasution akan membolehkan Pertamina. Syaratnya, penugasan proyek itu tidak membebani Pertamina. Vice President Corporate Communication Pertamina Wianda Pusponegoro menyatakan, belum ada perubahan skema pembangunan Kilang Bontang memakai KPBU menjadi penugasan. Wianda menerangkan, sampai sejauh ini Pertamina masih menunggu proses pemilihan konsultan dari International Finance Corporation (IFC).

    Setelah adanya konsultan tersebut, baru bisa dipikirkan bagaimana skema KPBU itu bisa dijalankan. Menurut Wianda, hal ini sangat berbeda dalam hal konfigurasi sisi perencanaan. Sejauh ini kami belum bisa mengkombinasikan faktor-faktornya seperti apa. Kita berharap, dari IFC sudah ada tindakan lebih jauh. sayang, Wianda juga masih belum mengetahui Pertamina akan melakukan kerjasama dengan siapa sehingga pihaknya masih belum bisa membeberkan berapa investasi kilang tersebut.

    Wakil Ketua Umum Kamar Dagang dan Industri Bidang Energi dan Migas Bobby Gafur Umar menyatakan, Pertamina menjadi perusahaan yang siap menjalankan proyek itu. Tapi tingkat kandungan dalam negeri (TKDN) proyek Kilang Bontang harus maksimal, sehingga bermanfaat untuk pasar industri penunjang migas dalam negeri. Swasta tetap diperlukan, tetapi untuk kilang mini. Fahmi Radhi Pengamat Energi Universitas Gadjah Mada menyatakan, lebih dari 20 tahun Indonesia tidak membangun kilang minyak.

    Padahal kilang eksisting sudah sangat tua. Dampaknya, impor kebutuhan selalu meningkat hingga mencapai 840.000 barel per hari. Pemerintah sudah memberikan kesempatan swasta nasional dan asing untuk membangun kilang, tetapi tidak pernah berhasil. Bahkan Saudi Aramco sekalipun akhirnya mundur, sebelum membangun kilang di Indonesia. Penugasan langsung ke Pertamina tidak serta-merta menghilangkan kesempatan bagi swasta untuk membangun proyek pemerintah.

Operator Refinery Projects & Bontang Not Named
    Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) disputing about the oil refinery project in Bontang, East Kalimantan. If the previous PT Pertamina predicted it could take on the project, now state-owned enterprises still have to be patient. No word yet agreed preyek was given to Pertamina. Committee for the Acceleration of Infrastructure Provision Priority (KPPIP) is still reviewing and comparing the economics of assignment to the scheme or schemes Pertamina Cooperation between the Government and Enterprises (KPBU). Chief Executive KPPIP Wahyu Utomo explained, while it was still comply with the provisions dami Coordinating Ministry of Economy.

    Coordinating Ministry of Economy likely to want to wear KPBU scheme in Bontang refinery construction. KPBU scheme until there is a policy change again. Deputy Minister Arcandra Tahar states, development Bontang wear KPBU scheme will take a long time, up to 48 months. Meanwhile, if the assignment, from the side of the process, we can do five to eight months, "said Arcandra, who also served as the Deputy Commissioner of Pertamina at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

    With that assignment, expected development can be accelerated such Bontang refinery Tuban. If no protest (from KPPIP), we've had discussions with Minister for Economy, preferably Bontang assignment. In that discussion, the Coordinating Minister Nasution will allow Pertamina. Condition, project assignment was not burdensome Pertamina. Vice President Corporate Communications of Pertamina Wianda Pusponegoro states, there has been no change in development schemes Bontang wear KPBU into the assignment. Wianda explained, so far, Pertamina still waiting for the process of selecting a consultant from the International Finance Corporation (IFC).

    After the existence of the consultant, and could only think about how it could be run KPBU scheme. According Wianda, things are very different in terms of configuration in terms of planning. So far we have not been able to combine the factors like what. We hope, of IFC has been no further action. Unfortunately, Wianda also still do not know Pertamina will cooperate with anyone so it still can not disclose how much investment the refinery.

    Deputy Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Energy and Oil and Gas Bobby Gafur Umar said Pertamina into a company that is ready to run the project. But the domestic content level (DCL) Bontang project should be the maximum, so it is useful for supporting the oil and gas industry market in the country. Private is still required, but for a mini refinery. Fahmi Radhi Energy Observer Gadjah Mada University said more than 20 years of Indonesia did not build a refinery.

    Whereas the existing refinery is very old. The impact, import needs are always increasing to reach 840,000 barrels per day. The government has given the opportunity of national and foreign private sector to build refineries, but never succeeded. Even though Saudi Aramco finally retreated, before building a refinery in Indonesia. Direct assignment to Pertamina does not necessarily eliminate the opportunity for the private sector to build a government project.

Harga minyak di Brent sempat diperdagangkan di level US$ 49,12 per barel.

    Dalam sepekan terakhir, harga minyak Brent sempat mencatatkan peningkatan hingga 4,66%. Harga minyak sempat mengambang di sekitar level US$ 50 per barel karena pasar masih menunggu sikap OPEC dalam rapat yang digelar pada 30 November 2016. Sebelumnya pada pertemuan 28 September di Aljazair, OPEC setuju memangkas produksi sekitar 700.000 barel menjadi 32,5 juta - 33 juta barel per hari. Perdana Menteri Irak Haider Al-Abadi mengatakan negaranya akan berpartisipasi dalam pengurangan produksi OPEC.

    Irak akan setuju terkait rencana kesepakatan pemotongan produksi pada pertemuan OPEC pekan depan. Managing Director Portofolio Tortoise Capital Advisors LLC mengatakan rapat OPEC masih mendominasi sentimen di pasar. Saat ini, harga minyak mentah dunia mulai memanas seiring dengan adanya rencana OPEC dan negara-negara produsen dalam pembatasan produksi. Analis Central Capital Futures, Wahyu Wibowo Laksono mengungkapkan saat ini yang perlu diperhatikan adalah negara mana saja yang akan melakukan pembatasan produksi minyak dan berapa banyak yang dikurangi dari tiap-tiap negara.

    Menurutnya, produsen minyak dunia pun tidak ingin kekurangan pangsa pasar. Pemangkasan itu diperlukan sebagai konsekuensi bisnis minyak yang melemah. Menurutnya, bila tidak ada kebijakan atas persediaan yang terjadi selama ini, maka dampaknya akan mengarah lebih buruk kepada OPEC atau produsen, sehingga pemangkasan itu meski dipertimbangkan. Bila terjadi pemangkasan persediaan oleh produsen minyak, maka akan terjadi kompetisi yang memicu kenaikan harga.

    Amerika Serikat pun tidak mau membuang peluang dan berencana menambah output minyak. Data U.S. Energy Infomation Administration (EIA) menunjukkan stok minyak mentah AS per Jumat (18/11), menjadi 489,02 juta barel, naik 32,99 juta barel atau 7,23% dari posisi 456,03 juta barel pada periode yang sama tahun sebelumnya. Peningkatan minyak mentah AS ini akibat lonjakan impor ke level tertinggi dalam 20 tahun terakhir. Produksi domestik minyak mentah AS per Jumat (18/11) mencapai 8,69 juta barel.

    Wahyu mengatakan harga minyak mentah dunia sangat berpotensi kembali rebound dan berpotensi mencapai US$ 50 per barel, dengan level tertinggi di posisi US$ 60 per barel. Di sisi lain, sentimen penguatan dolar belakangan cenderung menekan komoditas lainnya termasuk dolar. Fundamental global masih optimis akan terjadi rebound minyak mentah dan berlanjut menjadi tren bullish untuk jangka menengah dan panjang.

    Lukman Otunuga, Research Analyst FXTM menuturkan komentar dari menteri perminyakan Iran dan Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin tentang optimisme bahwa OPEC akan dapat mencapai kesepakatan pemangkasan level produksi, dan juga efek Trump telah menumbuhkan ketertarikan investor terhadap komoditas. Walaupun peningkatan jangka pendek yang mendadak ini cukup mengesankan, harga WTI masih tetap tenekan oleh masalah oversupply yang sangat serius.

    Lukman menuturkan pantulan harga secara teknikal saat ini dapat menjadi peluang bagi para penjual untuk ‘menyerang’ apabila OPEC mengulangi situasi Doha pada rapat formal 30 November. Adapun harga minyak WTI mencatatkan peningkatan' yang signifikan yakni 4,9% dalam dua pekan terakhir. VP of Corporate Development & Market Research ForexTinte Ltd. (FXTM) Jameel Ahmad menuturkan rencana OPEC untuk mencapai kesepakatan penurunan produksi sangat mempengaruhi kredibilitas OPEC.

    OPEC sebelumnya berusaha memangkas produksi untuk pertama kalinya dalam delapan tahun terakhir di Aljazair pada bulan lalu. Jameel menuturkan bila OPEC tidak memenuhi janji akan pgmangkasan produksi minyak, maka hal tersebut akan membawa pengaruh yang besar di pasar Iran dianggap menjadi batu sandungan utama dalam mencapai kesepakatan.

Central Capital Futures analyst, Wahyu Wibowo Laksono revealed today to note is which countries will narrow down the production of oil and how much is deducted from each country.

    According to him, the world oil producers did not want to shortage of market share. Pruning is necessary as a consequence of the oil business were weakened. According to him, if there is no policy for inventory that occurred during this time, then the impact will be worse lead to OPEC or manufacturers, thus trimming it even considered. In case of supply cuts by oil producers, there will be a competition that trigger a price increase.

    The United States did not want to waste the opportunity and plans to increase oil output. Data US Energy Infomation Administration (EIA) showed crude oil stockpiles per Friday (18/11), became 489.02 million barrels, up 32.99 million barrels or 7.23% from 456.03 million barrels in the same period the previous year.

    Lukman Otunuga, Research Analyst FXTM said comments from Iran's oil minister and Russian President Vladimir Putin on optimism that OPEC will be able to reach an agreement trimming production levels, and also the effect of Trump has been growing appetite for commodities. Although the sudden increase in short-term is quite impressive, the price of WTI is still tenekan by very serious oversupply problem.

    Lukman said the bounce technically, this time can be an opportunity for sellers to 'attack' if the situation repeats OPEC Doha at formal meeting November 30th. The price of WTI oil recorded an increase 'significantly ie 4.9% in the last two weeks. VP of Corporate Development & Market Research ForexTinte Ltd. (FXTM) Jameel Ahmad said OPEC plans to reach an agreement decline in production greatly affect the credibility of OPEC.

    OPEC previously attempted to cut production for the first time in eight years in Algeria last month. Jameel said that if OPEC does not fulfill the promise pgmangkasan oil production, then it will bring great influence in the Iranian market is considered to be the main stumbling block in reaching an agreement. OPEC's second largest producer insisted spur production to restore the lost market after the lifting of sanctions exports in January 2016

Some from local investors, but also from outside the area. Head of the Environment Agency (BLH), Bojonegoro Regency, Elza Deba Agustina, mentions that in the village Wonocolo, Hargomulyo, and Beji, District Kedewan, there are now more than 700 oil wells mine.

Therefore, the traditional refining of crude oil into diesel fuel must be regulated so that no illegal oil extraction. Moreover, the local area has been developed into a tourist area, The Little Texas Wonocolo oil. Control of traditional oil refining will be done gradually. The target of the local area can be re-greened.

Strategic Bojonegara Refinery Megaproject to Secure Domestic Gas Supply

 

    The government must support the realization of an integrated energy terminal megaproject in Bojonegara, Serang Regency, Banten Province worth IDR 10 trillion. Given the existence of this project, which will be very strategic in securing supplies, the plan is to build it by the Kalla Group business unit, PT Bumi Sarana Migas (BSM) by involving Japanese companies and Pertamina as the off-taker.

the Kalla group's

    The government must indeed focus on making a comprehensive plan related to oil and gas infrastructure in Indonesia, both LNG receiving terminal and gas transmission and distribution pipelines, so with the Kalla group's plan to build this LNG Megaproject, it is good to meet the needs and national energy security in the future, which later requires. said infrastructure support, said Deputy Chairman for Energy and Oil and Gas of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Bobby Gafur Umar.

    According to Bobby, the overall infrastructure development plan requires a budget of up to Rp.4,900 trillion. According to President Jokowi, the source of funding from the State Budget (APBN) is only able to finance Rp. 1,500 trillion, so the role of the private sector in infrastructure development, especially in the Oil and Gas sector, is very significant. 

    Apart from making comprehensive planning, according to him, the government should also prepare an incentive package, so that more investors are interested in investing, especially in the oil and gas sector.

Pertamina

    Based on Pertamina's data, West Java has experienced a gas deficit of 315 MMscfd in 2015. This figure is projected to increase threefold to 962 MMscfd in 2025. Nationally, Indonesia is predicted to experience a gas deficit of 1,013 MMscfd in 2015. This deficit will increase to 3,206 MMscfd. by 2025.

    Economic and Energy Observer from UGM, Fahmy Radhi, who is also a former Oil and Gas Reform and Governance Team, stated that the construction of an LNG terminal is urgently needed in the future in order to maintain national energy security.

    According to him, Pertamina's role as an off-taker was appropriate because as a state-owned company representing the government, Pertamina had to play an active role. He acknowledged that the off-taker role carries a high level of risk. 

    However, it must be minimized with detailed and mature feasibility calculations, as well as supervision. Fahmy considered this project to be a profitable business, considering that in the future the demand for gas in Java, especially West Java, will continue to increase.

    98 Institute Executive Director Sayed Junaidi Rizaldi said the cooperation between Pertamina and BSM would improve Indonesia's ability to secure domestic gas supply, especially for the western part of Java. Sayed explained that the appointment of Pertamina as the only buyer (off-taker) of the refinery product indicates that the company can play an important role in the future supply of LNG gas.

    On the one hand, Sayed also hopes that Pertamina can become an operator in the mega project for the construction of an integrated energy refinery. The reason is simple, Pertamina is very experienced in managing refineries. All large-scale refineries in Indonesia are operated by Pertamina. 

    According to information, the integrated energy terminal complex will not only be filled by an LNG receiving terminal and regasification, a new oil refinery, and a PLTGU with a capacity of 1,000 MW to 2,000 MW. This mega project is expected to be operational in 2020, where the LNG receiving terminal facility can take place first. In the first phase, the LNG terminal capacity will be 500 MMscfd. However, the capacity will be enlarged to 1,000 MMscfd in the second phase.

    Elza Deba Agustina, Head of the Bojonegoro Regency Environmental Agency (BLH), stated that environmentally unfriendly mining activities will result in environmental damage. Initially, only 275 wells were officially registered, but the number of wells in the field has now reached over 700. Meanwhile, one oil prospector stated that the main problem miners face is capital, forcing them to partner with other parties, particularly wealthy investors.

    The capital owners are some from the surrounding area and some from outside Bojonegoro. He explained that the oil produced is sold to Pertamina, but over time, the price of oil from Pertamina has been very low compared to the prices offered by other parties. This has forced many miners to sell their oil outside Pertamina. The price Pertamina offers miners is Rp 1.6 million to Rp 1.8 million for every 1,000 liters of crude oil. If the oil goes to a refiner or is processed independently, the price reaches Rp 2.4 million per 1,000 liters. We hope that the oil should be sold to Pertamina at a fair and higher price, so it is not refined.

Jalan Panjang Blok Masela Belum Ada Titik Temu

    Jalan panjang menuju kata sepakat mengenai pengembangan Blok Masela di Maluku, sepertinya masih panjang. Sejak pemerintah mengirimkan surat balasan kepada Inpex Corporation 13 Oktober 2016 lalu, sejatinya belum ada perkembangan signifikan atas rencana mega proyek gas tesebut. Hingga kini, belum ada keputusan pemerintah mengabulkan semua atau sebagian permintaan Inpex. Sebelumnya Inpex mengaiukan sejumlah permintaan dan telah mendapatkan lima poin balasan dari Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM). 

    Inpex masih harus sabar menunggu kepastian pemerintah Indonesia. Biarpun begitu, mereka tetap melanjutkan komitmen untuk mengembangkan blok dengan cadangan gas sekitar 10,73 triliun kaki kubik itu. Apalagi, Inpex mengaku intensif menggelar rapat dua kali sepekan dengan Pemerintah Indonesia. Mitra bisnis Inpex, yakni Shell Indonesia juga menegaskan tak akan menjual kepemilikan partisipasinya di Blok Masela. Shell, bersama operator Inpex, tetap berkomitmen untuk terus bekerjasama dengan pemerintah Indonesia.

    Dalam hal memastikan investable project untuk pengembangan lapangan gas Abadi dan komunikasi terus berjalan secara intens, kata General Manager External Relation Shell Indonesia Haviez Gautama. Jumat pekan lalu, Wakil Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Arcandra Tahar mengatakan, pemerintah dan Inpex sudah mencapai kata sepaham atas beberapa poin yang diajukan salah satunya soal penambahan kapasitas kilang liquefied natural gas (LNG), dari 7,5 million metric tonnes per annum (mtpa) menjadi 9,5 mtpa.

    Namun, hanya sampai sebatas itu saja perkembangan yang pemerintah beberkan. Pertimbangan pemerintah, penambahan kapasitas kilang LNG otomatis akan menambah sumur gas. Dengan begitu, kemungkinan besar bakal ada penambahan capital expenditure (capex) alias dana belanja modal.

Long Road Masela There Is No rally point

    The long road to an agreement on the development of the Masela block in Maluku, apparently still long. Since the government sent a reply letter to Inpex Corporation October 13, 2016 then, his life has been no significant progress on planned mega gas projects proficiency level. Until now, there has been no government decision to grant all or part of Inpex request. Previous Inpex mengaiukan a number of requests and replies have gained five points of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM).

    Inpex still have to wait for the Indonesian government certainty. Even so, they continue the commitment to develop the block with gas reserves of approximately 10.73 trillion cubic feet of it. Moreover, Inpex claimed to hold intensive meetings twice a week with the Government of Indonesia. Inpex business partners, namely Shell Indonesia also stressed they will not sell ownership of its participation in the Masela block. Shell, along with operator Inpex, remains committed to continue working with the Indonesian government.

    In terms of ensuring investable project for the Abadi gas field development and communications continue running intensely, said General Manager of External Relations of Shell Indonesia Haviez Gautama. On Friday last week, Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arcandra Tahar said the government and Inpex had reached an agree on some points raised one question refinery capacity additions liquefied natural gas (LNG), from 7.5 million metric tonnes per annum (mtpa) to 9.5 mtpa.

    However, only to the extent that any government development lay. Consideration of the government, the LNG plant capacity additions will automatically add the gas wells. By doing so, likely to be no additional capital expenditure (capex) aka capex.

OPEC Usulkan Penurunan Produksi 4,5 %

    Organisasi negara-negara pengekspor minyak atau Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) berencana menggunting produksi minyak sebanyak 4% hingga 4,5%. Pemangkasan ini berlaku untuk seluruh anggota, kecuali Nigeria dan Libya. Tiga orang sumber di OPEC menyatakan kepada Reuters, bahwa hasil pertemuan di Vienna merekomendasikan pemangkasan tersebut. Usulan itu, seperti diberitakan Reuters, Rabu (23/11), akan dibicarakan pada pertemuan tingkat menteri OPEC pada 30 November mendatang.

    Pemangkasan ini akan berdampak pada pengurangan produksi OPEC sebesar 1,2 juta barel per hari. Angka tersebut merupakan hitungan Reuters berdasarkan produksi pada Oktober 2016. Seorang sumber juga mengatakan bahwa delegasi dari Iran, lrak dan Indonesia telah menyatakan keberatan atas rencana tersebut. Pada September 2016 lalu, negara-negara OPEC sebenarnya telah sepakat memangkas produksi minyak menjadi 32,5 juta hingga 33 juta barel per hari. Saat ini, produksi minyak OPEC diperkirakan mencapai 33,64 juta barel per hari.

    Namun sepertinya hambatan akan datang dari Iran dan lrak yang tidak setuju atas usul tersebut. Contohnya Iran yang justru ingin meningkatkan produksi karena gangguan ekonomi yang sempat terjadi pasca sanksi embargo. Iran sendiri telah diminta negara-negara OPEC lain untuk memangkas produksi minyaknya sebesar 4,5%. Saat ini, produksi harian minyak Iran mencapai 4 juta barel. Sementara Irak, telah mendapat rekomendasi banyak pihak agar bisa memangkas produksi sebanyak 200.000 barel per hari.

    Sebanyak 85% sumber pemangkasan produksi berasal dari negara teluk. Namun sampai saat ini pihak Iran belum menyepakatinya, kata seorang sumber Reuters. Arab Saudi dan Negara Teluk lain mengaku siap memangkas produksi hingga berjumlah total 1 juta barel per hari. Ketiadaan dukungan dari Irak dan Iran, menurut sumber tersebut, akan membuat rumit upaya OPEC menyeimbangkan jumlah pasokan dan permintaan. Ujung-ujungnya, harga minyak pun sulit di angkat naik ke harga normal.

    Sebelumnya Menteri Energi Aljazair, Noureddine Boutarfa menyatakan keyakinannya terhadap kesuksesan rencana pemangkasan produksi minyak OPEC tersebut. Hal tersebut diungkapkan Boutarfa pasca bertemu dengan Menteri Energi Rusia Alexander Novak, yang menegaskan Rusia mempertimbangkan pembekuan produksi minyak. Adapun produksi minyak Rusia per November 2016 diperkirakan mencapai 11,2 juta barel per hari.

Proposes OPEC production decline 4.5%
    Organization of Petroleum Exporting countries or the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) plans to cut oil production by 4% to 4.5%. Pruning is applicable to all members, except Nigeria and Libya. Three people at the OPEC source told Reuters that the meeting in Vienna recommend these cuts. The proposal, as reported by Reuters on Wednesday (23/11), will be discussed at the ministerial meeting of OPEC on 30 November.

    These cuts will have an impact on OPEC production cuts of 1.2 million barrels per day. The figure is a Reuters count based on production in October 2016. A source also said that a delegation from Iran, Iraqis and Indonesia have expressed objections to the plan. In September 2016 then, OPEC countries have agreed to cut actual oil production to 32.5 million to 33 million barrels per day. Currently, OPEC oil production is estimated to reach 33.64 million barrels per day.

    But it seems barriers will come from Iran and Iraqis who do not agree on the proposal. Examples Iran that it wants to increase production due to economic disturbances that had occurred after the embargo. Iran itself has asked other OPEC countries to cut oil production by 4.5%. Currently, the daily production of Iranian oil to reach 4 million barrels. While Iraq, has received a recommendation of many parties in order to cut production by 200,000 barrels per day.

    As many as 85% of production cuts come from Gulf countries. But until now the Iranians do not agree, a source told Reuters. Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries to be ready to cut production by totaling 1 million barrels per day. The absence of support from Iraq and Iran, according to the source, will complicate the efforts of OPEC to balance the amount of supply and demand. In the end, oil prices were difficult to lift up to the normal price.

    Previous and Algerian Energy Minister Noureddine Boutarfa express complete confidence in the success of the plan that OPEC oil production cuts. This was revealed Boutarfa after meeting with Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak, who reiterated Russia was considering freezing oil production. As for Russian oil production per November 2016 is estimated at 11.2 million barrels per day.
