Core Content

The OPEC Bulletin for January/February 2003 highlights key developments in the oil industry, emphasizing the importance of co-operation between oil-producing and oil-consuming nations, as well as among different stakeholders such as national oil companies (NOCs) and international oil companies (IOCs). The document also discusses OPEC's policy decisions, the role of the organization in maintaining market stability, and upcoming events related to the oil and gas sector.

Main Points

OPEC Policy and Quotas

• The 123rd OPEC Conference decided to increase production quotas by 1.5 million barrels per day (mb/d), raising the total OPEC production ceiling from 23 mb/d to 24.5 mb/d, effective from February 1, 2003.
• The decision was made to ensure sufficient supply and restore balanced market conditions.
• The increase follows a previous 1.3 mb/d boost agreed in December 2002, which took effect from January 1, 2003.
• Iraq is not part of the agreement due to ongoing UN sanctions.

Price Band and Market Stability

• OPEC has introduced a price band of $22–28 per barrel to provide flexibility while maintaining price stability.
• The price band has been effective in encouraging co-operation between OPEC and non-OPEC members.
• OPEC remains committed to stabilizing the market, monitoring it continuously, and taking necessary measures to ensure fair prices for both producers and consumers.

Co-operation and Partnerships

• Co-operation between OPEC and non-OPEC producers such as Norway, Russia, Mexico, Oman, and Angola has been a key focus.
