OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ) Asit Dholakia
OPEC is an intergovernmental organization of 12 oil-producing countries that coordinates and unifies the petroleum policies of its member countries. It seeks to ensure stable oil prices and a steady supply of oil to consumers. Some of its key objectives are stabilizing oil prices to eliminate harmful fluctuations, overseeing an efficient supply of oil, and ensuring a fair return for investors in the petroleum industry. The organization influences global oil prices and works to balance supply and demand in international markets.
OPEC was established in 1960 in Baghdad by 5 founding members: Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. It is headquartered in Vienna and coordinates policies among its 13 member countries, who collectively possess over 70% of global crude oil reserves. OPEC aims to ensure stable oil supplies and prices to both producing and consuming countries. In recent years, price wars between Russia and Saudi Arabia have led to sharp drops in crude prices, greatly impacting oil-exporting countries and global energy markets. The COVID-19 pandemic has further disrupted supply and demand, threatening the oil industry. OPEC and its members must now realign strategies to navigate these challenges and changing energy landscapes over the long
This document discusses OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries), an intergovernmental organization of 14 oil producing nations. It notes that OPEC controls nearly 80% of the world's oil reserves and 44% of daily oil production, giving it power to influence global oil prices. The document also summarizes OPEC's goals of maintaining stable oil markets with reasonable prices and steady supplies for consumers, while allowing member nations a fair profit.

ROLE OF OPEC
INFLUENCE OF OPEC ON GLOBAL OIL MARKET
OPEC acts as a cartel by controlling the global supply of oil in order to influence prices. As a cartel, OPEC sets production quotas for its members with the goal of maintaining high oil prices. However, the incentive for individual members to cheat on quotas and increase production for higher profits challenges the stability of the cartel. While OPEC was able to significantly impact oil prices in the short-run when demand and supply are inelastic, the cartel has struggled to maintain high prices in the long-run as demand and supply of oil become more elastic. The rise of non-OPEC oil producers has also eroded OPEC's ability to single-handedly control global oil supply and
The 1973 oil crisis began when OAPEC proclaimed an oil embargo in response to the US support of Israel. This caused oil prices to rise dramatically from $3 to $12 per barrel. India was heavily impacted as it imports most of its oil and saw effects like deterioration of its balance of payments. Petroleum is used for much more than fuel, and is essential for many everyday products from plastics to solvents. If oil were to run out, daily life would change greatly with less reliance on vehicles, plastics, and global transport since alternate fuels have yet to be widely adopted.
OPEC is a permanent intergovernmental organization consisting of 12 oil producing countries located in Africa, Asia, and South America. It was founded in 1960 in Baghdad, Iraq by 5 countries and seeks to coordinate oil policies and stabilize oil prices. OPEC members hold over 80% of global crude oil reserves and collectively produce over 29 million barrels per day. The organization meets twice yearly to set production quotas and policies aimed at maintaining stable oil markets.
The document discusses how geopolitics impacts oil and gas markets. It outlines several geopolitical factors, including conflicts in the Persian Gulf region which contains over half of global oil reserves. Military threats, domestic instability, and disputes over Caspian Basin resources all pose risks. Over 90% of Gulf oil exports pass through the Strait of Hormuz, and any closure could drastically increase prices. Wars like the Gulf War and Iraq War led to supply disruptions and price volatility. Geography also influences gas markets due to high transportation costs via pipelines.
The document summarizes the results of a cross-country analysis conducted by IFPRI on the impacts of global shocks from the Russia-Ukraine war on poverty and food security in 19 countries. The analysis found that:
- Household incomes fell substantially more than GDP in most countries due to higher food, fuel and fertilizer prices. This led to 27 million more people in poverty.
- Food insecurity increased, with 22 million more people found to be undernourished. Diet quality also deteriorated for 50 million lower-income people.
- Rural populations were generally impacted more severely by fertilizer price increases, while fuel price rises affected urban populations more.
- Most countries saw only modest
This document discusses the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which coordinates oil production policies for 12 member countries that collectively produce around 40% of the world's crude oil. OPEC aims to stabilize oil prices through setting production quotas. It has faced criticism as its share of global oil production has declined from dominance in the 1980s due to growth in non-OPEC suppliers like Canada and Russia. While OPEC still exerts influence over prices by adjusting quotas, its ability to control the market unilaterally has diminished over time as demand has increasingly been met by non-member countries.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) implemented an oil embargo in October 1973, prohibiting nations that supported Israel in the Yom Kippur War from purchasing its oil. This led to a 400% increase in oil prices from $2.59 to $11.65 per barrel and high inflation in consuming countries. Western nations responded with measures like fuel rationing and restrictions on driving and flying to reduce energy usage, while also encouraging growth through interest rate cuts. The embargo motivated searching for renewable fuels and was lifted in March 1974 after negotiations.
The IMF was established in 1944 at the Bretton Woods Conference to promote international monetary cooperation and stability. It currently has 188 member countries. The IMF works to foster global growth and economic stability through its main functions of surveillance, technical assistance, and financial support. It is governed by the Board of Governors and managed by an Executive Board and Managing Director. While the IMF aims to stabilize currencies and financial systems, its policies have also faced criticism for imposing austerity that negatively impacts social services, labor rights, and the environment in some member countries.
The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), also known as the World Bank, is an international financial institution established in 1944 to finance post-war reconstruction and development. It is headquartered in Washington D.C. and has 188 member countries. The IBRD provides long-term loans, policy advice, technical assistance to middle-income and creditworthy poorer countries for sustainable projects focused on reducing poverty and promoting economic growth. It raises most of its funds through debt issuances on global capital markets. Key activities include projects focused on education, health, infrastructure, private sector development, and environment protection.
The IMF is an organization of 186 countries that works to foster global monetary cooperation and secure financial stability. It provides policy advice and financing to help countries achieve macroeconomic stability. The IMF tracks global economic trends, warns of potential problems, and shares expertise to help countries address economic difficulties. It supports members through policy advice, research, loans, and technical assistance. The IMF aims to ensure the stability of the international monetary system and help members promote growth and alleviate poverty.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is an organization of 189 countries that works to facilitate global monetary cooperation and financial stability. It provides policy advice and financing to member countries facing economic difficulties. The IMF was created in 1945 at the Bretton Woods conference to avoid competitive currency devaluations and promote international trade. It is governed by the 189 member countries and aims to foster global economic growth, secure financial stability, facilitate international trade, and reduce poverty worldwide.

This document discusses the gains from international trade. It defines gains from trade as the advantages that countries enjoy through specialization and division of labor when participating in international trade. There are static and dynamic gains. Static gains come from short-term reallocation to comparative advantage sectors, while dynamic gains accumulate over time through factors like increased productivity and investment. Countries can measure gains from trade through approaches looking at reduced production costs, improved terms of trade, and increases in real income. Smaller countries tend to benefit more from trade than larger countries due to greater opportunities for specialization.
OPEC acts as a cartel by setting production quotas for its members and manipulating the global supply of oil. As the majority of the world's oil reserves and production are controlled by OPEC, it aims to maximize profits by reducing supply to increase prices in the short run. However, in the long run demand and supply become more elastic, limiting OPEC's ability to influence prices. While OPEC still impacts oil prices, its power has declined as non-OPEC producers have increased their market share.
OPEC is an oligopoly of 12 countries that controls a majority of the world's oil supply. As an oligopoly, OPEC sets production quotas to influence oil prices and maximize profits for its members. However, individual members are incentivized to cheat on quotas and produce more to earn higher profits, threatening the stability of the cartel. While OPEC was historically effective at manipulating prices in the short run, demand has become more elastic over the long run and increased non-OPEC production has reduced OPEC's dominance of the oil market.

The Relevance of OPEC as a Cartel: CARTEL, OPEC AS A CARTEL, OBJECTIVES, OPEC OIL RESERVES, WORLD PROVEN CRUDE OIL RESERVES, INFLUENCE OF OPEC ON PRICE, TAXES ON OIL, IMPACT OF OPEC ON INDIA & CHALLENGES.
OPEC is an organization formed in 1960 by 12 oil producing countries to unify their petroleum policies and coordinate production. Before OPEC, oil prices were controlled by major oil companies. OPEC took control of prices in the 1970s and was able to influence the global oil market as a cartel by restricting production to raise prices. As a cartel, OPEC aimed to allocate production quotas to stabilize prices. However, internal disagreements and increased non-OPEC production have weakened OPEC's influence in recent decades. The future of OPEC as an effective cartel remains uncertain.
This report discusses the recent decline in oil prices and the battle between OPEC and the United States for control of the oil market. Oil prices fell from over $110 per barrel in 2014 to under $50 per barrel in early 2015 due to increased production from the U.S. and other non-OPEC countries. While lower prices benefited consumers and some economies, they hurt oil-producing countries. The U.S. has significantly increased oil production in recent years through fracking and other methods. As a result, OPEC is losing its dominance over the oil market and control over prices. The oversupply of oil from both OPEC and non-OPEC producers means prices are expected to remain low
This document provides an overview of the global rivalry between OPEC and IEA. OPEC coordinates oil production among its members to influence prices, aiming for stable revenues. IEA represents oil consumers and aims for stable, affordable supply. While their goals differ, both need stable markets. OPEC focuses on production cuts or increases to balance supply and demand. IEA requires stockpiles to offset disruptions and advises members on energy security and climate policies. Their differing roles balance the global oil market.
This document summarizes and analyzes political tensions within OPEC, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. It discusses how OPEC originally formed to counter Western oil companies but now faces internal divisions between members due to differing political and economic interests. In particular, Saudi Arabia prioritizes market share over high oil prices, unlike some poorer OPEC members who need higher prices. This tension has weakened OPEC's ability to set unified oil production quotas and prices as members act in their own national self-interest.
The document discusses OPEC's role as a monopoly in the global oil market and how it can influence prices. It outlines factors like increased winter demand, supply disruptions, and OPEC's decision to increase production by 800,000 barrels per day to lower prices. However, this small increase is unlikely to significantly impact prices given total world consumption growth. The US oil industry has consolidated since the 1970s, making companies larger and better able to compete with OPEC. Alternative energy sources may eventually replace oil but have not been fully developed yet.

The document discusses OPEC, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. It provides information on OPEC's 12 member countries, its aims to stabilize oil prices and ensure stable supply, and its role in coordinating production quotas in response to demand. As the world's largest oil producer, OPEC has significant influence over global oil prices and supply.
The document discusses topics related to oil politics, including:
1) OPEC was formed in 1960 by major oil exporting countries to fix prices and limit competition against private oil companies.
2) Saudi Arabia plays a key role in OPEC as the largest oil supplier and can influence prices by varying its oil production levels.
3) Dependence on oil imports from the Middle East puts the United States in a difficult position geopolitically.
OPEC is an example of a cartel. A cartel is a formal agreement among competing firms in an oligopolistic industry to fix prices, marketing, and production to increase profits by reducing competition. OPEC is the most well-known international cartel, with its members regularly meeting to decide each country's allowed oil production levels. As the largest oil producing and exporting cartel, OPEC functions to enforce production quotas among its members and influence global oil prices through coordinating supply.
The document discusses the history of petroleum politics and the formation of OPEC. It notes that the Achnacarry Agreements established price control in the 1930s in response to an oil boom. OPEC was formed in 1960 by Venezuela, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait to give producing countries more control over oil incomes. Through production quotas and cooperation, OPEC gained the ability to control oil prices in the 1970s. The oil shocks of 1973 and 1979 demonstrated this power and increased prices. However, OPEC lost influence in the 1980s due to new producers and internal conflicts.
Crude oil prices recovered strongly from $33 to over $80 per barrel in 2010 due to rising demand from China and India. While non-OPEC production increased, OPEC's share of global output rose from 33% to over 45%. As the global economy recovered from recession, OPEC expanded supply following production cuts in late 2008. OPEC aims to stabilize oil prices through setting production quotas for its 12 member countries, who collectively produce around 45% of the world's oil. Non-OPEC producers, OECD countries, and former Soviet states account for most of the remaining global supply.
Introduction into Oil and Gas Industry. OIL: Part 1Fidan Aliyeva
The document provides an introduction to the oil and gas industry, covering the following key points in 7 sentences or less:
Oil formed from the remains of ancient organisms over millions of years. It varies in composition and properties depending on its origin. Major oil producers and traders include OPEC countries, international oil majors, and national oil companies. OPEC coordinates policies to stabilize oil markets and ensure supply. While oil reserves could last over 40 years at current production rates, consumption is rising. Large price fluctuations can significantly impact oil-producing and consuming economies. The industry is working to increase capacity and ensure secure long-term oil supplies.

OPEC is an intergovernmental organization of 13 oil-producing countries founded in 1960 to coordinate and unify petroleum policies among its members and ensure the stabilization of oil markets worldwide. Its stated mission is to manage the supply of oil in an effort to set price levels that are fair to both the producers and consumers of oil. Some key points are that OPEC is headquartered in Vienna, Austria, it was established in 1960 by 5 countries and has since grown to 13 members, and collectively its members control a significant portion of the world's proven oil reserves and production.
The document discusses the petroleum industry, which is divided into upstream (exploration and production), midstream (transportation and storage), and downstream (refining and processing) sectors. It contributes greatly to economic development by creating employment opportunities. The UK petroleum market is dominated by four major companies - British Petroleum, Esso, Shell, and Tesco - which collectively account for over 50% of the market share. The Office of Fair Trading investigated whether decreases in crude oil costs were being passed on to consumers and if supermarkets were limiting competition in some areas. While its goals of stabilizing prices and ensuring fair competition are reasonable, some questioned if its findings fully captured the various factors that influence gas prices.
OPEC is an intergovernmental organization formed in 1960 to coordinate and unify petroleum policies among its 13 member countries. It aims to secure fair and stable oil prices, an efficient supply of oil to consumers, and equitable and reasonable profits for its members. Key events included the 1971 shift of price control from oil companies to OPEC, and the 1973 and 1979 oil crises which led to price increases. While OPEC coordinated production quotas to influence prices, disagreements among members and increased non-OPEC production have reduced its influence in recent years. OPEC members control a large share of global oil reserves and production, but the organization faces challenges in balancing its members' interests and global oil market dynamics

2. A CARTEL:
A cartel is defined as a group of firms that gets together to make output
and price decisions. A cartel tends to arise in markets where there are
few firms and each firm has a significant share of the market. In the
U.S., cartels are illegal; however, internationally, there are no
restrictions on cartel formation.
TYPE OF CARTEL:
OPEC is Oligopolistic Cartel. Oligopoly means a state of limited
competition, in which a market is shared by a small number of
producers or sellers.
The Organization of the Petroleum
Exporting Countries (OPEC)
3. BRIEF HISTORY:
The Organization of the Petroleum
Exporting Countries (OPEC) is a permanent,
intergovernmental Organization, created at
the Baghdad.
Conference on September 10–14, 1960, by
Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and
Venezuela.
1949, Venezuela and Iran took the earliest
steps in the direction of OPEC, by
inviting Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to
improve communication among petroleum-
exporting nations as the world recovered
from World War II.
ABOUT OPEC
4. Aim to regulate the amount of oil that member nations produce and
to keep prices at a steady rate.
Mission of OPEC's objective is to co-ordinate and unify petroleum
policies among Member Countries, in order to secure fair and stable
prices for petroleum producers; an efficient, economic and regular
supply of petroleum to consuming nations; and a fair return on capital
to those investing in the industry.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries ( OPEC)
has had its headquarters in the Vienna, Austria for more than 45 years
now. The countries get together twice a year and agree on how much
oil each country is allowed to produce.
AIM AND MISSION
5. In 1949, Venezuela and Iran took the earliest steps in the
direction of OPEC, by inviting Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi
Arabia to improve communication among petroleum-
exporting nations as the world recovered from World War II.
The US was simultaneously the world's largest producer and
consumer of oil; and the world market was dominated by a
group of multinational companies known as the "Seven
Sisters", five of which were headquartered in the US. Oil-
exporting countries were eventually motivated to form
OPEC as a counterweight to this concentration of political
and economic power.
WHY OPEC WAS ESTABLISHED
6. The creation of OPEC was in1960, in response to the
control exerted by multinational companies on the oil
business at the expense of producing countries.
By mid 20th century oil prices, production volumes and
other key aspects were controlled by seven large
international companies known as the “Seven Sisters” (link
to History), according to their interests and the political and
military situation of these companies’ countries of origin.
Another reason that led to the creation of OPEC was a
great vacuum in the world’s oil market management, the
inability of the Seven Sisters.
7. WHO CONTROLS OPEC ?
The member states control the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting
Contries (OPEC).
However, because Saudi Arabia’s crude oil reserves and production
capacity dwarf the other members, it has significant influence over
OPEC policy.
OPEC’s influence on the market has been widely criticized because its
member countries hold the vast majority of crude oil reserves (about
80%) and nearly half of natural gas reserves in the world.
As a cartel, OPEC members have a strong incentive to keep oil prices
as high as possible, while maintaining their shares of the global
market.
8. As late as June 2016, OPEC decided to maintain high
production levels, and consequently low prices, in an
attempt to push higher cost producers out of the market and
regain market share.
Today OPEC controls only about 30% of the worlds
production, so their ability to set oil prices by limiting their
output has been lost since other countries outside of OPEC
can raise production.
OPEC controls oil prices through its pricing-over-volume
strategy.
9. WHO ARE OILAND GAS PRICE IS FIXED
BY OPEC COUNTRIES ?
Oil and gas price is not fixed by opec , Although OPEC did in fact
set crude oil prices from the early 1970s to the mid-1980s, this is no
longer the case.
It is true that OPEC's member countries do voluntary restrain their
crude oil production in order to stabilise the oil market and avoid
harmful and unnecessary price fluctuations, but this is not the same
thing as setting prices.
In today's complex global markets, the price of crude oil is set by
movements on the three major international petroleum exchanges
(new york mercantile exchange, international petroleum exchange in
london, singapore international monetary exchange).
10. WHAT ROLE DOES OPEC PLAYS IN THE WORLD
TODAY ?
A great deal, OPEC is essentially a cartel of major oil
producing nations.
They deliberate on prices to sell their crude oil depending
on the quality, capacity of each member-nation's production
and of course, the market.
The US gets most of their oil from these folks.
There are also intra-politics happening within the nations in
the organization.
Production capacity dictates the level of influence within the
organization.
Most of the time the Middle East controls decisions but the
smaller nations still benefit in some manner.
11. HOW MUCH INFLUENCE DOES OPEC HAVE ON
THE GLOBAL PRICE OF OIL ?
A: In the short term, the Organization of Petroleum-Exporting Countries (OPEC)
has significant influence on the price of oil. Over the long term, its ability to
influence the price of oil is quite limited, primarily because individual countries
have different incentives than OPEC as a whole.
For example, if OPEC and OPEC countries are unsatisfied with the price
of oil, it is in their interests to cut the supply of oil so prices rise. However, no
individual country actually wants to reduce supply, as this would mean reduced
revenue. Ideally, they want the price of oil to rise while they raise revenue.
B: However, in time the price migrates lower as supply is not meaningfully cut. In
the end, the forces of supply and demand determine the equilibrium price. OPEC
announcements can temporarily affect the price by altering expectations. In recent
years, OPEC's share of world oil production has declined, especially with new
production coming from the United States and Canada.
12. INDIAASKS OPEC FOR PRICE DISCOUNT
Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Dharmendra Pradhan India has
asked the OPEC, for price discount, saying higher crude oil prices will boost a shift
towards renewable energy already gaining ground in the country, a government
statement quoted the oil minister.
India imports about 86% of its crude, 70% of natural gas and 95% of cooking gas
from the OPEC countries. Indian refineries process 235 million metric ton of crude
annually or 4.7 million barrel per day (bpd) capacity.
They import 4 million bpd of crude and refine it and market it both in domestic and
international markets.
energy mix in India in last 3 years has changed with renewables coming in a big way
and pricing of solar energy coming down to 4 cents per unit. There is huge pressure
to shift focus to solar, wind, electric vehicles and hybrid cars.
13. CAN OPEC STILL CONTROL THE PRICE
The OPEC cartel has pursued a high price strategy in an oil market
under pressure from rising demand.
While it may have encountered short-run capacity constraints, OPEC
did not commit to increase oil output and bring the price to a lower,
more manageable level. Instead, it has actually cut oil output
intermittently.
Since last November, it decided to reduce its rate of production by 1.7
million barrels per day , in an apparent effort to keep the price of
crude oil from falling below roughly $50 per barrel, and it still has
given no guidance as to what it regards as an upper bound. This
conduct tests the limits of what the market will bear; it does not aim to
keep the price stable.
14. Hence, price volatility does not imply weakness by the
cartel. In the four years since the price began to exceed
OPEC’s previous target price band of $22 to $28 per
barrel, its oil revenue more than tripled from $183 billion
in 2002 to $580 billion in 2006 while the cartel increased
oil output by a mere 17 percent.
High prices are prone to be volatile and difficult to
control, and $50 to $60 is extremely expensive for a
barrel of crude oil.
