OPEC Meeting

OPEC has its last meeting of the year today, but the outcome is already decided.

OPEC, which pumps 40 percent of the world’s oil, will “absolutely not” change its output quotas, Saudi Arabia’s Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi said yesterday.

This being the case, oil markets reacted with a shrug.

The main driver of markets at present is rather the extremely cold weather and its impact on demand.

Cosmo May Mothball Refinery

Japanese Refiner Cosmo Oil, is the latest company to consider mothballing a refinery.

The Tokyo-based company may close the plant within three to five years, Chairman Keiichiro Okabe said in an interview yesterday, without saying which refinery is being considered..

Like compatriots Nippon Oil, they are victims of the over capacity in Japan.

Japan’s surplus capacity has grown to about 30 percent of the total as fuel demand slumps because consumers have switched to cleaner alternatives and factories have reduced output amid the global recession.

There is still more to come, as Japanese refiners slowly come to terms with their new realities.
