As of recent OPEC has deemed the worlds oil supply "worrying." A chief oil executive at OPEC, Mr. El-Badri stated, "We need a price where we can invest in new capacity, new supply and also cater for the wealth of our people. Anything below $70 will not permit us to invest." With OPEC supplying 40% of the worlds oil supply a fault in production will very easily throw much of the world into economic crisis.
