The Secretary-General of the Organisation of Oil Exporting Countries (OPEC), in a virtual speech, made mention of these facts.
He vehemently claimed that “This is an indicator of the very severe deterioration of close to ten million barrels of crude oil per day(10MBPD) right from where we began the year. In furtherance he continued “close to eleven million barrels per day(11MnBPD) reduction, correlated to what we anticipate in January”.
The secretary-general Mohammed Barkindo was the man behind these statements in the virtual speech that took place at the Crescent Ideas Forum on behalf of the organization based in Vienna.
He also made efforts to clarify some facts saying “come the year 2021, our prospects remain that, sustainable progress springs back to 6.2 million barrels per day, to do justice over the 96 million barrels per day when compared to our previous COVID-19 expectations for market pressure nearing close to a hundred and two million barrels per day come the next year 2021″.
Adding he said that “The current modifications are due to the easing strides of the economy, enabling recuperation and fresh COVID-19 containment standards, which are taken to impact on transport and industrial fuel market demand effectively into next year being 2021”.
Stability to the oil market has been almost impossible and very difficult as moves to strike this balance has kept on failing. Could it be the explosion in the inventory levels that propelled the commercial oil merchandise of the organization for Economic-Cooperation and Development to two hundred and eight million barrels per day, which is above the existing average of five years as contained in the October primary data?
On the other hand, the sketch for the beginning of the year was thirteen million barrels per day.

It was Barkindo’s observation that this year, the world’s crude oil stocks had swelled, increasing to over a billion barrels per day.
In comparison, he said that “These gainful representations would have been far off and unsustainable if not the role and comprehensively timely efforts taken to deal with the imbalance and strike a base hereby bringing stability to the market”.
Demands for crude oil is foretold to be hitting about one hundred and nine million barrel per day compared to the ten million barrels per day of 2019.
He closed his conversation by affirming his stance “In clear terms, we remain positive that the oil market pressures in yet to develop countries and emerging economies will rise by twenty-two and half million barrels per day to roughly seventy-four million barrels per day come 2045″.
He explained that “although the standpoint for the ‘crude oil’ may look sick, we hope for the normalcy of demand and growth, just as the globe totally recover from the COVID-19 pandemic that hit hard on in 2020.
These statements seem to give hope to countries like Nigeria who is slipping into another recession, and who depend so much on their oil sectors.
