On May 25, all eyes will be on Vienna when OPEC meets to decide whether it will continue with its current cuts, make changes to the agreement, or even set a new course of action altogether. Stratas Advisors’ director of energy markets, Jeff Quigley, is packing his bags for Vienna and will cover the proceedings. But before he leaves, he sat down with Hart Energy to discuss the cuts' effectiveness so far (oil price hasn’t changed much to this point), how the organization will react to U.S. shale players’ actions since the cuts took effect, possible changes to OPEC’s plan of action, and more.
Look for Jeff Quigley’s reports from Vienna, as well as additional coverage of the OPEC meeting on OilandGasInvestor.com, EPmag.com; MidstreamBusiness.com and UGCenter.com
Jeff will also be featured on a special edition of the Political Sidetrack podcast following the meeting.
